Vietnamese Iced Coffee & Grilled Pork Banh Mi from Coffee-Licious 101 @ Amoy Street Hawker Centre in Singapore #amoystreethawkercentre

Knowing that my mom loves soupy stuff, I brought her to Piao Ji Fish Porridge at Amoy Street Hawker Centre after our temple run to the nearby Fook Tet Soo Hakka Temple. But, something else caught my attention; the stall next to Piao Ji! 

Coffee-Licious 101, and it's not their coffee that made me decide to forgo my non-carbohydrate lunch! I noticed that big photograph of a banh mi on their signboard! And I had to try! 

Grilled Pork Banh Mi - my standard order for banh mi and to think that my last banh mi was already quite a few months ago! Since I had banh mi, I would of course order a cold Vietnamese coffee to complete the meal.

While not bursting with fillings, the baguette was packed with pieces of grilled pork and contained the usual pickled strips of radish, carrots, slices of cucumber etc. Not too fanciful yet I can't wait to take a big bite! 

Surprisingly not bad! The baguette was crisp with an interesting smoky aroma that complemented the grilled pork which had a nice, juicy bite not overwhelmed with sweetness, and completed with the vinegarish sweet radish, carrots and cold cucumber.

Honestly, this was a good enough banh mi for me.

Simple, homely, and to the point. 

Cold Vietnamese Coffee - I didn't have high hopes for this as the boss took out a whole container of ready-brewed from the fridge and poured a cup for me. Luckily, the taste was alright; bitter yet with a rich, managed sweetness that brought me, mentally, back to Vietnam!
