As a gourmet person, Meritorious Artist Chi Trung always has a list of "favorite" restaurants in Hanoi. Recently, he introduced to fans a long-standing banh mi shop in Hanoi.
The dried blood bank store on Hue Street has been open since 2014. Diners often have to queue up. This restaurant was once known as the "most beautiful" restaurant in the old town.
Chi Trung revealed that the restaurant owner at first thought it was difficult to do business because he was frugal, but if customers asked, he would answer enthusiastically. The male artist also told the happy story that the restaurant owner was once a "queen" on Hue Street.
When artist Chi Trung invited the restaurant owner to chat, this woman calmly said No, but was still very charming. In fact, many vloggers who have been to this sangha shop also shared that the restaurant owner rarely agrees to record videos chatting with customers. Part of the reason is that the restaurant is in high demand, the sellers have to stay busy and focus on making cakes, not letting customers wait too long.
While talking to the restaurant owner, Chi Trung waited for his portion of the fried fish sauce and also advised him not to give more meat out of favor to " fetal customers".
When holding a banh mi in his hand, he always praised: "A lot of rice, a lot of ham, and there are also vegetables and cucumbers to eat with. The Pate here has a very special smell, I don't know how the restaurant owners have kept it like this. The taste is still the same as before, the banh mi flour is very delicious. Just blaming me for adding too many chili sauce, "burning the radio".
The restaurant's bread is commented to be simple in the old banh mi style, not forced or grilled like other restaurants. The crispy shell of the banh mi is crispy, the filling includes pate, pork floss, sausage, shrimp, red sausage, avocado, cucumber... served with quite spicy chili. In addition to the delicious pate, there is also self-roasted pepper salt for customers to sprinkle on the appetizer according to taste.
The male artist has been a regular customer of the restaurant since the Youth Theater was established in 1978 Every time the theater held a party, the staff and artists bought dozens of dresses. At that time, each cake was only about 3,000 - 4,000 VND, but now the price is from 30,000 - 40,000 VND.
