Cà Com - Review - Richmond - Melbourne - The Infatuation
"Billed as a “bánh mì bar,” Cà Com’s specialty is actually khao jee pate, a Lao breakfast sandwich that isn’t bánh mì but gets pretty darn close. The OG is a crumbly jungle-spiced pork sausage big on lemongrass, galangal, and garlic that comes stuffed into a crunchy long roll with mayo, jeow bong, pickles, and herbs. Five-spice pork belly and turmeric-coconut chicken fillings also appear regularly, and the chef makes her own cold cuts and fish sauce, too. A new courtyard helps manage overflow from the canteen-like space, or you can grab your sandwich and a Vietnamese iced coffee and head to Citizen’s Park nearby." - Ellen Fraser
