After filling the bread with enough filling, it is still put on the charcoal stove to keep the bread crispy and hot

Guess what important ingredient Vietnamtravelio hasn’t mentioned that makes the cake great? That’s the sauce. If you don’t know, Trang Tien banh mi does not use sweet and sour fish sauce, soy sauce or mayonnaise like other places like Hanoi and Saigon. The sauce of the bread is made from a separate secret from meat sauce and a mixture of five spices, onions, cashew nuts… with a strong, salty and slightly spicy aroma.

If you are a person with both a “hungry stomach” and a “big belly”, why not enjoy two sandwiches instead of just one ha. Partly because the bread here is not too big and the filling is not too filling, plus the queue is quite long each time you buy it, so the opportunity only comes once, you should consider it.

The “best seller” here is the pork sandwich, which Hue people also call “banh siu” for short. The unique thing about this type of stuffing is that it has both the sweet and salty taste typical of slices of pork belly soaked with rich spices. On the outside, there is also a thick layer of cockroach wing-colored sauce that is not only delicious but also creates visual appeal. There’s nothing better than enjoying a meat filling that’s both delicious and has eye-catching colors.

Besides, you can enjoy tapioca sandwiches, which are equally special. The tiny tapioca cake is filled with green beans or shrimp. The chewy shell of tapioca dough is covered by a crispy crust of bread, creating a quite interesting feeling when enjoying. In addition, the slightly sweet and spicy fish sauce sprinkled evenly creates an unforgettable banh mi experience.
