"The bakery and deli counter near the front entrance of Montavilla’s Hong Phat supermarket isn’t just a great source for pandan waffles and roast meats by the pound, it also sells 10 varieties of banh mi, from the vegetarian bo chay with tofu and avocado to the all char siu sandwich, the xa xiu. Pro tip: there’s usually a selection of readymade sandwiches in the adjacent refrigerated case, if time is of the essence." - Krista Garcia
