Banh Mi

Today for lunch I tried something new near work ... a pork banh mi sandwich from Little Saigon Deli just around the corner.  I have hardly noticed this place, despite countless trips to Perry's, because it is just a windowfront out of which they serve a limited variety of banh mi (pork or fancy pork? chicken or tofu?), green coconut waffles, and spring rolls. 

I ordered the pork banh mi (just straight up pork, not fancy, although I will probably try that combo next time) and enjoyed the crusty roll, sliced pork, marinated carrots, and especially fresh cilantro.  A simple sandwich but oh-so-tasty ... made all that much more enjoyable by a sunny afternoon and time with a friend eating near the waterfront. 

Oh, did I mention it was only $4.50?  I have a new regular lunch spot.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
