Every now and then I will get a craving for Baguette - The Viet Inspired Deli's saigon baguette (located at Raffles City basement). It's actually their rendition of a vietnamese Bahn mi. Of course, its overpriced to what you can get there, but its the best about town. What do you get for $5.60? You get a chockful of 3 different hams and smeared pate, decadent mayonaise, a dash of maggi seasoning (don't you scoff at this as its highly popular in vietnam, this all-in-one sauce in a bottle) crunchy pickled radish and carrot, chilli slices (which really packs a burning punch) and coriander sprigs all stuffed into a extremely crisp fat baguette (so crispy that there were several times I cut the top of my mouth while trying to chow it down). Pretty good stuff nevertheless.
PS. Forget about the chicken version, or their weak imitations of bun cha (pork with vemicelli) or goi cuon (fresh shrimp rolls) or ice lemongrass tea or stuff like that. Just order the banh mi and chomp away.

Hi Shaz, thanks for visiting my blog. :)
I enjoy reading about your gastronomical adventures too, and have added you to my blog list.
Wished I'd read your review of Baguette before my fateful experience with their goi cuon last week.
