Ba'get
Ba'get - a brand new food concept based on Vietnamese street food invented during the Indo-chine period with the French colonized Vietnam in the late 1800s. This period created a fusion of cuisine that bring together the best of both cultures: crispy, crunchy baguettes with pates and charcuterie meats combines with the flavours of Vietnam, incorporating chillies, coriander, pickles, fresh vegetables and sauces. Yum!
Ba'get is always a popular choice amongst the office workers and great for a quick and an option of takeaway lunch meal. There is seating outside along the street and inside.
Menu options available and taste wise seems like your typical authentic Vietnamese bakery and vermicelli bowls with springs rolls. They also serve a few popular Vietnamese sweets and ice coffee.
Although they got my order wrong and had to go back, I was quite satisfied with my meal. I ordered a BBQ chicken vermicelli bowl with different options of toppings and sauces to compliment.
Would definitely be back with decent portion and reasonable prices for $10 a bowel
Another Banh Mi (Vietnamese Bread) based in the CBD. By far one of the best Ive had outside of the Footscray, Richmond, Springvale zone in which they have been renown for selling these breads for many many years. Opted for the classic pork roll mixed with all the Vietnamese herbs, onions. Could not possibly go wrong with this, the bread was fresh, the pork was just perfect and all the mayonnaise and and pate as the base spread was just divine!. $6.50 - which is quite a reasonable price for the city, as other places could offer a bread roll up to $10. There is lots of talk surrounding their grilled lemongrass chicken bowl, which you can also have the lemongrass chicken in the baget as well. Id like to come back for this next time, as there has been a number of great reviews about this dish. Think these guys seem to have got it right, keeping true to the Vietnamese taste/texture that goes into what makes these bread rolls so good.
