Banh mi (or Banh my) is a Vietnamese baguette made with wheat and rice flour. This can be seen as a combination of sandwich and baguette. Thinly sliced carrots, pickles, cucumbers, liver pâté, mayonnaise and various meats are put into “banh mi” and covered by a little soy or fish sauce. People usually sell “banh mi” in small stalls on the street-side.  Depending on customer’s needs, the seller will offer lots of types. Common varieties are “banh mi ga” made with chicken, “banh mi trung” made with scrambled egg, “banh mi bi” made with shredded pork skin, “banh mi thit nuong” made with grilled prok, “banh mi xiu mai” made with juicy crushed pork meatballs. Even “banh mi chay” for vegetarian with vegetable and tofu has become widely. That’s why this baguette plays an important role in Vietnamese life- particularly with officers and people in a busy city. They can eat “banh mi” any time: breakfast, lunch or dinner; when walking, doing something and don’t feel bored because there are many flavors to change.

If having a chance to wander whole Ho Chi Minh city, you should treat yourself with this cuisine one time and feel it by your way.
