I’ve never heard “Viet Subs”. I’m not sure I like it. Sounds a bit American.

Thanks for your comment.

The vietnamese pork rolls you refer to are now reasonably well known as Viet Subs (Vietnamese Subway - eat fresh!!)

Beef noodle soup should do the trick! Which shop do you like going to down there?

Hi noodleoodle
Quickly skimmed your blogsite, great stuff. I’ve got a minging hangover after a big day and night on the turps so I think I’ll take your advice and drown it in a beef noodle soup on Victoria Street in Richmond.
The “big” combination steam buns you mention are called banh bao in Vietnamese and almost rival pho as a breakfast in some parts of the country.
The closest thing banh can be translated to in English is cake.
I’ll be back as soon as the heady broth of a pho bo has remedied my condition.
Have you been to Springvale yet to sample the noodle fare down there?
Regards, Spencer J
