Saigon Meatloaf

Saigon bread is especially fragrant with butter

Saigon bread 1 thousand 1 loaf

In the late 80s, bicycles sold bread (without filling) with a recorded ad around Saigon. At that time, I went to Saigon to go to school and stayed at my aunt's house at alley 7 Nguyen Trai. So the understanding of bread is also around in the Nhut district. A good loaf of bread (meat) must first be hot and crispy, then the ingredients inside. Finding a good loaf of bread in District 1 is also a bit difficult.

At that time, Huynh Hoa bread was only sold in the evening, located at the corner of Le Thi Rieng and Cach Mang Thang Tam streets. The shop sells from 18:00 to 22:00. Huynh Hoa bread is also normal and less meaty now. Prices are also not blowing high but for now. Also on Le Thi Rieng street, at that time also opened a bakery in Hanoi. Hanoi bread in addition to cold meat, spring rolls ... has 1 more piece of Chesse. Create a difference between Saigon bread matrix. At the beginning of Cach Mang Thang Tam street, there is Ngoc Huong bakery that also sells bread (the girls who own Ngoc Huong are both ugly and evil) that I rarely buy.

On Nguyen Trai Street, there is a Bi bread shop, it's strange to eat but you have to eat it on the spot because the bread is filled with sweet fish sauce (fish sauce eaten with broken rice) to make the loaf of bread. Anything that is squishy is not "delicious". Buy to take home, fish sauce to put 1 bag separately, not eat right away.

Run a little further to Thai Binh market with An Phan bread (still for sale now), Nam Phan bread has 2 types: Cold meat and Chicken lice. Food is also quite good. Talking about chicken bread, on Ly Tu Trong street, there is Ngoc Sang shop selling chicken bread. The loaf of toad bread is split in half, spread with Mayonair sauce, added cucumber, pickles, cilantro and chicken lice, a few leaves of green chili with 2 heads, eaten "bat lice".

The Old Market has Nhu Lan bread. Nhu Lan bread is for tourists only, so compared to the house, it is very different. Because Nhu Lan's bread "didn't have a door" competed with Vo Lam hegemony.

Run another part of nearly 100 meters from Ngoc Sang shop, right at the corner of the intersection of Ly Tu Trong and Thu Khoa Huan, there is Mai's bread cart. This bread cart is more than 40 years old. Ms. Mai only sells in the morning, until about 10:00, "out of stock". Mrs. Mai's bread cart sells 3 types: 1 Banh mi with ham & cold meat, a canned fish sandwich and a meat roll. Homemade rolls and pate . Mai's husband learned from the French kitchen, so the meat rolls are raw and have a salty taste. I usually order a loaf of meat roll (90s cost 10-12 thousand) Hot bread with pate, butter, meat roll, cucumber, pickles, cilantro, a few slices of chili and a little soy sauce. Ly Tam Hoan's flying knife is encapsulated in one word "Fast", while Mai's bread has the word "Delicious".

One day, the money was very good and I wanted to eat delicious food and asked Mai to add cold meat, of course "the price was inflated" 20 thousand. But it turned out that a loaf of bread with too much meat was not good. Because every bite is full of meat and meat. No longer can hear the crunchy bread crust, the sound of cucumber rot in the mouth, the sour taste of sour food, the pepper disappears, but replaces the fatty taste of fatty meat.
