The few times I’d cook for a man…

Yes I wrote his name and tried drawing a lion on this meal, bánh tráng nướng. It’s really good and healthy too!

Easy to make as well. Ya need egg, rice paper, and chili oil. Toppings and fillings can be green onions, kewpie mayo, sausages, etc.

Imma start writing and drawing stuff fr fictional folks now. You know I’m crushing if I put them in my art…if you can even call this art

Saigon Deli, 832 N Broadway, Los Angeles (Chinatown), CA 90012

I’ve walked by Saigon Deli so many times over the years. They have so much on the sidewalk that they look like a street vendor – but there is a small indoor area with a cash register. A woman made banh mi sandwiches in one corner (the banh mi is made to order).

The menu includes fruit, smoothies, spring rolls, egg rolls, fried banana, meatballs on a stick, and banh mi (combo, chicken, BBQ pork, sardine, meatball, BBQ beef, beef lemongrass, pork cake). Sandwiches are $6 - $7. They make fresh sugarcane juice to order, on the sidewalk.

#1 Banh mi dac biet ($6): This was a long baguette stuffed with pickled carrots and daikon (lightly pickled, crunchy), fresh jalapeno, mayo, and 3 kinds of meat (BBQ pork, cha lu/pork cake, and ham). There was no pate, cilantro, or cucumber. The meat wasn’t bad but it wasn’t what I expected. Normally, the meat is thinly sliced. Here the meat was in big thick pieces. There was a ton of meat. The sandwich seemed thrown together. The baguette was not toasted but was soft and chewy. It was not terrible but it was missing some key elements.

The prices posted on the menu outside seem to be outdated. The current prices can be found on the indoor menu. There is no seating.
