"...GOOD HONEST 'BAHN MI' ~ NOTHING TO RAVE OVER.. BUT, 'THE DAVID ROLLS' ~ LITERALLY UNIQUE..."
Still out here in the North West - Really missing good Bahn Mi - Desperately needing a fix...
Found T&D HOT BREAD Bakery, Pascoe Vale Road, Glenroy:
Shop's just a shop, but doesn't mean a thing..
Sarah's a cute kid - Friendly and chatty, but super-efficient - She made those bahn-mi up nice and quick... And served other customers in between...
Bought:
2 x BBQ Pork Bahn Mi - Good.. Nice sauce..
2 x BBQ Chicken Bahn Mi - Chicken didn't taste barbecued.. No crispy fried shallots.. Not quite enough flavour, for me..
2 x Crispy Pork Bahn Mi - Good, but I've had much better..
10 x David Rolls - Ah, now these are what's INTERESTING...!!! Sarah's father David's creation - A cross between a crispy thin Baguette and a Croissant, but not heavy like Brioche - They're about a foot long; crispy crust; inside is soft, light and buttery: and they're slightly sweet - REALLY AND TRULY DELISH...!!! By the way, these are seriously cheap - $1 each..
We've eaten half as they are - saved the others - wanna have them for breakfast tomorrow - warmed and slathered with my home-made apricot jam [made with organic apricots from the garden]
6 x Knot Rolls - No complaints..
4 x Tiger Rolls - No complaints..
2 x Jam Ball Doughnuts - Nice ones..
2 x Fruit Danish - Bit disappointing - Needed custard, as well, really - Found them a little dry..
Cost: $52 - Well, I've certainly got no complaints here...!!!
[She was very generous - wouldn't charge us for the 2 David Rolls we ate in the shop - said she thought we deserved to try]
We'll be back...
PS. 1. They only take cash.. 2. I always want chopped peanuts on my bahn mi, maybe that's why I didn't 'love' them, but Sarah's got a peanut allergy - Some-one else there can make them for you - I didn't bother - Was enjoying her company too much - Next time..
