Due to its history as a French colony, the Vietnamese really know how to make a mean baguette. I tried an authentic baguette when I first touched down during my Vietnam trip and the taste has remained with me ever since.Here in Singapore, we can get our craving eased at this eatery in Square 2.

Due to its history as a French colony, the Vietnamese really know how to make a mean baguette. I tried an authentic baguette when I first touched down during my Vietnam trip and the taste has remained with me ever since.
Here in Singapore, we can get our craving eased at this eatery in Square 2. The Vietnamese bagueete is also known as Bánh mì, literally biscuit (Bánh) or flour (mì) cake. I ordered the signature Saigon baguette and it eased my craving slightly.
However, I thought the filling looked a bit lonely - it would have been nice if they had increased the portion of the ingredients so that one can really sink his or her teeth into it! The one I had in Vietnam was extremely crispy but the one I had was more like a softer bread.
The place has a fast-food concept, eat and throw. I like to say that it is like the French version of Subway. I recommend this if you want a healthy option, it's very well balanced with a bit of everything from every food group; no deep-fried items (is that why the Vietnamese women are so slim?) and also if you need a quick bite. It's more manageable than a sub and very easy to eat on-the-go.Post
