Heard of the baguette served by this place a long time ago. But never had the determination to really make a special trip to the Graham St area for the baguette.
But the magic of Groupons strikes again.
At $29, the groupon would buy u a full-size baguette, plus drink and a snack.
What a bargain !!!
Vietnam baguettes were a common fast food, introduced by the French during their occupation of Vietnam. The baguette can have a wide selection of contents mainly, Vietnamese cold cuts, ham, bologna; and garnished with pickled carrot.
It was Saturday, around noon time. The small place could only hold may be 15-20 guests, and there were already a number of guests waiting for take-outs.
The tables were not all occupied but two vacant ones had signs on them indicating "reserved" Luckily we only needed to wait for around 5 minutes before we got a sofa seat, although the seat was not particularly comfortable as it was just next to the narrow corridor leading to the kitchen. So, my back was brushed quite a few times by the serving lady My advice is, take the round table next to the right of the entrance -- this is the most spacious table of the shop
If not, then take the bar seat facing Graham St --- it's more roomy and has a nice street view ..... perfect seat for seeing and being seen
Despite the limited space, service was great. The serving lady was polite and efficient, and always wore a friendly smile. We mistakenly gave her 3 groupons for our two sets, and she kindly returned the third one to us when she noticed it Now the food.
We ordered
The food was made to order, so you had to wait for a while. But the wait was well worth it. The baguette was toasted and served hot -- with a crispy/crunchy coating and warm/tender inside. The pickled carrot matched the contents very well and neutralized the meaty feel. The ricepaper rolls were less attractive but were still okay.We concluded the meal with a cup of Vietnamese dripped coffee. The coffee was strong but matched very well with the sweet condensed milk
Overall, the trip and the groupon were well worth it. We also got two $10 coupon which could be used for the next visit with minimum spending of $40 each. Noticed that they also serve pho. Will try in the next visit. Great bargain. Will encore.张贴
