"Shunted off in a corner of Hong Kong City Mall in Chinatown, Alpha Bakery quietly and modestly makes the best bánh mì in the entire city. The shop is so crammed to the gills with a ton of Vietnamese snacks and spices, you almost miss the modest little sandwich counter. Order any sandwich and watch as thick globs of butter and mayo are spread on fresh baguettes and filled with pâté, chả lụa (bologna), pork belly, giò thủ (head cheese), and a fistful of sliced vegetables and herbs. The best part is this little slice of sandwich heaven is only $5, cash, so maybe order two or three. What to order: dặc biệt bánh mì" - chelsea thomas
