It closed surprisingly easily. The bread was crunchy on the outside, but gave way easily on the inside. There were many small ingredients rather than a few big ones, so the sandwich was quite formable.
Oh I've been living in Danang and Hoi An the entire time.
No drink needed 😉 I'm riding in Laos at the moment so not there anyway.
I was there for probably that first year and half of COVID, until that summer they stopped renewing visas and told a lot of us to go home (I've been on tourist visas the entire time) Went to Mexico for six months, as soon as the borders opened I came running back within the week.
My good friend recently moved to Danang, next time for a visa run I would probably take a flight to Danang and then to the border there(because it's 150km)
We stayed here during covid the whole time, extensions, paid visas, illegally, with no money, it was fun 😂
It's about 250km each direction. Taking a bus or riding yourself, it pretty much takes the entire day to go and come back. Made that ride hundreds of times now.
I've also overstayed for months at a time 😅 Overstayed twice and was still able to do a visa run an come back same day 😂
That looks great - except I see cucumber in there. Is it just me that finds the taste of cucumber really intrusive? Even if I pick it out I can still taste it on the stuff it's touched.
Gonna have to downvote you on that because most of the time, cilantro is in bánh mì. Nothing wrong with it, stop being a little baby and eat your greens.
We ain't being a baby. Coriander/Cilantro is a genetic thing. You either love it, or you hate it. We can't help not liking it.
I find it tastes like soap and overpowers everything it's put into. So if you want to know my experience, cut up a bar of soap and put it into your salad like it's some sort of weird cheese and try eating it. It's not a good experience.
Why so angry? It's legitimately a genetic thing, cilantro is basically inedible for some people. There's plenty of papers documenting this, it's not some made up preference or anything.
Also... I live in Vietnam but I'm in Laos right now, cilantro or not, now you made me crave banh mi and I feel like I should go back home to get some 😅 Usually eat two a day, every day.

The peanuts... Can't say I ever had it that way.

For someone lives in the country since he was born, yea, me neither have mine with peanuts.

Looks a little dry tbh, but that can be hard to tell from a picture.

How do you close this? And where is the secret lard sauce?

You stick a knife in the middle, firmly close the top and slide out the knife.

I'd like a video or gif of the banh mi closing

Oh alright. I ordered another one.
Also for me.

It looks tasty but it also looks expensive. I lived off of $2 bahn mi sandwiches when I first moved to LA. Now even the street tacos are expensive.

I just buy $0.5 banh mi in Hanoi 💁

Around 6 😂
No, I will not go with you to drink 🤣
Also, have you stayed here during covid? Because at that time it was really not many people, and everyone knows each other

Not 150km???? Because it's 250km from Hanoi to Laos
Also, the road should be way way better

I'm with you. I can't stand cucumber.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Yeah, it tastes of abomination. Not too keen on the whole melon family TBH. I like gherkins though. I'll eat pretty much anything if it's pickled.

I don't get the soap taste, but it's incredibly disgusting and ruins whatever it touches for me.

I'm only agreeing with you due to allergies.
