I love their plain baguette with pork and meat pine (肉鬆) ($33).The bread is so crispy, re-heated fresh from the oven for each order. The ingredients are so fresh (I really like the scallion)... so chewy, I kept going back since it was opened. The flavour of each ingredient (pepper, carrot, scallion, meat and the meat pine) mixes and blends in so well with each other, each time I had the baguette, it's like a unique chewing experience.

The bread is so crispy, re-heated fresh from the oven for each order. The ingredients are so fresh (I really like the scallion)... so chewy, I kept going back since it was opened. The flavour of each ingredient (pepper, carrot, scallion, meat and the meat pine) mixes and blends in so well with each other, each time I had the baguette, it's like a unique chewing experience. It feels great to hold the bread in hand so warm and the taste lingering in a mouthful of rich ingredients for each bite.
The Vietnamese coffee is also nice. Not a bad idea to hang out there in a lazy afternoon in this little corner of the street... Do you notice the little pictures hang on the wall in this little shop and the mini antique bird cage at the table corner ? Quite adorable.
Staffs are friendly and chatty (yeah, occasional free snack offers really make my day...) and serious about each bread order - they will dump the bread right away if it is over-heated instead of feeding you with a burnt baguette.
I keep going back as this place is really serious about making tasty baguette. Yeah $33 is a bit pricy, as compared with a McDonald burger and the baguette in Yaumatei, but you are having a truly made-to-order baguette by serious Vietnamese baguette maker, so the choice is yours... I'd go for it since I am fed up with McDonalds and Starbucks.
