O Banh Mi – An All-Day, Vietnamese Sandwich Bar @ Damansara Uptown

October 28, 2013 | 12,253 views

All Day Banh Mi @ O Banh Mi

 Fresh baguettes made in house daily; the Banh Mi @ O Banh Mi is given a royal stuffing; as in the case of this O BBQ (RM8.20) with barbecued pork, sunny side egg, homemade mayo, lots of cilantro and Vietnamese chili sauce

Banh Mi, or Banh My is the ubiquitous Vietnamese sandwich sold early in the morning; casually being sold at roadside stalls in Vietnam. I have tasted both Hanoi’s and Ho Chi Minh’s version, and this humble (or rather … more to hearty) sandwich is but one of my absolute favourite snacks from the country.

Imagine crunchy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside baguettes baked fresh daily, and sold almost immediately after they’re out from the oven. Then slice them open and stuff them to manic proportion with pork liver pate, Vietnamese sausages and slices of pork belly, fried sunny side up eggs, julienned pickled carrots and daikon, fresh coriander leaves/cilantro and dressed in a piquant Vietnamese chili sauce, mayonnaise and cheese at times.

What used to be an endless craving now has its need met … in the form of an all day, sandwich bar in Damansara Utama/Uptown named O Banh Mi. Read the rest of this entry »

Ben’s @ KLCC – More Than Just A Cafe

August 4, 2011 | 18,830 views

Homemade Salted Beef Sandwich with Egg and Cheese

Home-Made Salt Beef Sandwich (RM23.90/USD8) – A warm, tummy-filling fare that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your weary face. TGIF in a few hours already … persevere, dear gluttons.

“Ben’s KLCC was launched April 15th 2011 and is modelled after a Manhattan townhouse. The menu concentrates on international cuisine, ranging from refreshing appetisers and yummy salads to hearty East and West main courses, delicious snacks and luscious desserts.”

(Excerpt from http://www.suriaklcc.com.my/dining/restaurants/bens/)

Ben's @ KLCC

Ben’s; the flagship cafe under the BIG group (responsible for various popular outlets, ie: Plan B, Ben’s General Food Store, T Forty Two, etc) reminded me of Delicious by Ms Read the most. From the warm lighting, rustic setting with plush sofas, the cakes counter that’s bound to break a diet or two, and the overall marriage of Eastern and Western influences in the dishes offered.

“It is a place that entices people to visit with their friends and families, sharing good food and precious moments; building rituals.” (from their official website)
