Whoa, this little corner stand was pretty darned good (505 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 #01-2668). That bánh mì dặc biệt above was filled with a bazillion cuts of meat and then garnished with scallion oil to give it some earthiness and sweetness. Admittedly, I still prefer the spicier lighter bite of my usual Viet9, but I'd be happy to eat here if there is no line.
The vibe here was seriously Vietnamese, complete with the low tables and stools outside. The baguette was crispy outside and soft and airy inside, with a nice layering of flavours from various cold cuts, vegetables, pate, mayo, spreads and sauces. The whole package was tender, fresh and hearty, with savoury umami sweetness. Really nice and comparable with those you could get in Vietnam.
Authentic Vietnamese experience; low table with stools! Apparently, such arrangements are normal in Vietnam and many were on the pavements next to roads where dust and smoke are common companions.
