I won a contest online for a take home banh mi kit, two iced drinks, and vegan banana bread pudding. I got to choose which protein I wanted (chicken, pork or vegan), and I chose pork. WOW. So many thoughts racing through my head!
The staff were so nice and the precautions being taken for safety are a lot. They had the door wide open, lots of tape for social distancing, pexiglass and the owner was wear a face shield. I never felt unsafe. He was so friendly and asked a bunch of really great questions to me while I waited for them to assemble the kit. I ordered two Vietnamese iced coffees - if you haven't had Vietnamese coffee before, I highly recommend it.
The kit came with mayo, pate, pickled veggies, cilantro, pork, cucumber, baguette, and the sweetest instruction guide which seemed silly but was actually SO helpful - including reheat times, assembly instructions, etc. This was so thoughtful!! We toasted the baguette after spreading the pate and mayo, and reheated the pork and made sure to pour on the juice as well. I hate cilantro and usually avoid banh mi for this reason, but the rest of the ingredients were packed with flavour that I didn't even notice the missing herb.
The owner told me I could eat the banana bread pudding cold or hot, we were lazy so we ate it cold with the coconut milk spread, and it was beyond delicious. Complex and layered flavour.
The prices are extremely fair, the experience was safe, and I was just so thrilled with the whole thing! Can't wait to be back, they are doing take out of all their drinks and many at home meal kits.
