4 years ago, last time we were here, i made a point of going to both of Hoi An's banh mi heavyweights, Phuong and Mama Khanh. That time Phuong had the better banh mi, amazing bread, tasty filling, good balance of fresh crunchy greens. Today's...banh mi, the mixed/combo, was sadly a shadow of this former offering. The bread was a bit stale, and while the filling was good, the chilli was a little mild, even for Hoi An where the chilli isn't usually very hot.
A good sandwich, maybe Phuong were having a bad day, but not up to previous quality.More
