The first time I ate Vietnam's french bread loaf was my visit to Ho Chin Minh.
It was only about S$0.20 per loaf at a humble stall in Ben Thanh Market. You may read about it HERE.
It was very unforgettable and I know I'll never find that warmth and fragrance in Singapore.
God must had pity my longing for it and I "discovered" Sandwich Saigon located along East Coast Road.
This little cafe was half occupied on the weekday evening. They seemed to have more take-aways from local and vietnam patrons than dine-ins.
Nothing extravagance, cane chairs added a little bit of nostalgic feel.
The other diners were exchanging soft chats, happily enjoying their pho or sandwiches. Noisy and loud children were all "kept" at Aston's just a few units away. Good! I needed some peace.
This was their menu, clearly indicated that baguette is their signature.
Beef Pho S$10.50
Tasty clear broth with lots of tender beef slices. The portion wasn't big, may not be satisfying enough for hungry people.
Ham sandwich S$5.90
It's crispy on the outside, little crumbs fell all over table no matter how gently I bite lolxx... Super cotton candy soft inside with ham and flavourful pickled veg fillings.
So good, that we "ta bao" plain ones home. It's S$2.00 each.
No GST, no service charge, away from the bizz and buzz of city, appreciate the quiet crowd very much.
