A Taste of Vietnamese Banh Mi in Makati

07.30.2014 by Leah //

Thanks to my Ninang Caro, a food aficionado like me, AJ and I were introduced to this small, unadorned eatery at Mayapis Street in San Antonio Village, Makati serving really delicious Vietnamese banh mi or bread sandwich: Bon Banh Mi.

“The National Geographic has ranked Vietnamese banh mi as one of the most 15 delicious sandwich of the world.

According to Richard Johnson, author of the book “Lonely Planet’s The World’s Best Street Food”, Vietnamese Sandwich is the best street food in the world.”

(source:  Bon Banh Mi’s website)

Here’s what we tried:  the Traditional Banh Mi, a perfectly toasted baguette filled with shredded meat, jambon (or ham), pork paste and veggies.

This meat-filled sandwich is really delicious, very filling and best of all, super affordable at only P99.00 (for the large-sized sandwich).  You can also order a smaller-sized sandwich for only P79.00.

Those with meat preferences can choose between Grilled Beef, Chicken or Roasted Pork for their banh mi.  But if you want a full gastronomic experience, get the traditional banh mi.  Enjoy it with a cup of Artichoke Tea, also from Bon Banh Mi.

    Good news to the Makati yuppies! They now have a stall at the GT Tower food court, 12th floor. GT Tower is located along Ayala Avenue, Makati.

I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
