Food in Vietnam is getting more expensive these days, so it's great to see quality food staying at ridiculously low prices. For me, the pick of the bunch is Banh Mi 37 Nguyen Trai, where, for less than 1 USD (actually it's 75 cents), you can get charcoal grilled lemongrass pork patties stuffed into an airy-on-the-inside crisp-on-the-outside baguette, brought together by a sweet, tangy and devillishly spicy sauce.
What's even more awesome about this place is that it's easy to find. Tell the cab driver the address below, and look out for the alley pictured below and this little stand with a small charcoal barbeque next to it - this is where this legendary sandwich is made.
My only regret was that I only got one banh mi. Apologies for the pic quality, I took them whilst in the back of a cab.
Address: Banh Mi 37 Nguyen Trai, 37 Nguyen Trai, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1, HCMC
Opens at 5pm. Get there asap to avoid disappointment!
