Because Banh mi thit is for the everyman. It’s street food, it’s cross-culture. It’s not about separating people by class, by taste or by gourmet knowledge. That’s why I’m against banh mi for $12 … It’s about egalitarianism and accessibility. At that price, it’s against everything banh mi thit stands for.

yes I agree!
Plus I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be as good as the one in Gungahlin or Kingston.

Can’t tell if you are taking the p$@# or not? If not then that is seriously over the top.

$12 for a Viet pork roll? hahaha

Saigon Fresh in Gunghalin (next to best and less) is very good for $6 but even they are now starting to skimp on the ingredients. sometimes you get very thin slices of pate, and the other meats.

There’s also a bakery in Fyshwick that sells them for $6. It is located next to Capital Kebab which is located across the road from BBQ’s galore. It is quite good, theirs is different because their pork is not a single thin strip but lots of small diced up pieces.

The other option is to go in to Asian groceries that are owned by people of Vietnamese heritage on Friday evenings around 5pm. They usually bring pork rolls in from sydney. I think you just have to add your own soi sauce as its generally not put in to keep it from going soggy on the trip back.
Gungahlin Asian grocery near Aldi carpark and Belconnen Asian grocery next to CanTho and also the grocery next to Regal restaurant are owned by Vietnamese.

You can also buy a bottle of wine or a case of beer cheaper at the bottle shop,. So what. You choose your environment and pay accordingly. Your choice,

by the way the correct term for a pork roll is ‘banh mi thit’

not sure why people say ‘banh mi’, that just means bread.

Common usage for a meat filled roll is banh mi, which is why people say it.

Great Banh Mi can be found at iPho in the city, reasonable at $8. The Vietnamese bakery at the Fyshwick markets also does a good one, but I can’t remember the price of it off the top of my head.

For the setting it has great atmosphere and the taste and it fills you up $12 is good value to me.
