"Hai Cafe makes one of London’s finest bánh mìs. This little arm’s length-wide Vietnamese spot in Lower Clapton heftily fills its short baguettes with a combination of spiced pork belly and lemongrass chicken, an intriguing—and wholly delicious—crushed black sesame seed spread, plus pickled bits, green chilli, a slice of head cheese, and, of course, crispy shallots. The pork belly in its classic sandwich is bolshy: caramelised chunks that will undoubtedly fall onto your lap before being transferred deftly into your mouth." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
