I love bánh mì from Mascot. It's better than Albo's Marrickville.

Yes, I should go to Cabramatta. Waiting for your review @Avenger .

Before my hobbit life in the Shire I actually grew up in and around the Fairfield/Cabramatta area. I’m here now waiting around whilst mum is getting a procedure done. She lives in Cronulla but only trusts her Chinese Doctor.

Anyway I’m walking around on this fine day and am getting a nice nostalgia trip. Cabra has improved greatly and the Asian Community need to be commended for making this area great again. No drug dealers anywhere. I feel very safe and am searching for a nice place to eat.

I just had a Chinese roll in one of the bakeries in John St. it was awesome. I usually have chicken. I didn’t do pork. Not on a roll unless it’s made into a ćevapi.

lol..

A kiwi man was in Australia for the Bledisloe Cup when he began to experience testicular pain..​

So he went to see an Australian doctor and get some tests done.
Dr: "Your results are back sir and unfortunately they are not good. We are going to have to remove your testicles".
Kiwi: "Awwww no way bru! I'm going to git a sicond opinion!"
So the kiwi finds another Aussie doctor who runs further tests.
Dr 2: "Unfortunately I would agree with the previous assessment, we have no choice but to remove your testicles".
Kiwi: "Aw this is f****d bru! You Aussies dun know whatya talkin about. I need to find myself a kiwi dr!"
So the kiwi searches high and low for a doctor from his homeland with no luck. In utter despair he heads to a nearby pub to drown his sorrows. However as luck would have it a kiwi doctor just so happens to be there! The kiwi explains his troubles to the doctor and the doctor agrees to give him a quick inspection in the back alley.
After a brief look the kiwi dr says: "Awww sorry bru, your nuts are cooked! We're gonna need to chop them off!"
Kiwi: "Aw chur bru I'm so happy! I knew those Aussie bastards were lying when they said they needed to take my test tickets!"

I used to live in Mascot and would visit Hong Ha often.
Gotta go at the right time though. f**k, there would be some times you'd be waiting in line for what seemed like 20 minutes to get a feed.

20 minutes isn't too bad if the product is good.

I've had a few Bahn Mi's from a Vietnamese Bakery at Abbotsford while working at the Sydney Rowing Club and they have been sensational. The chillis are spicy (you can choose to have without), plenty of coriander, carrot, cucumber, and the pork and crackling is perfect. The bread rolls are so crispy on the outside and soft melt in the mouth on the inside
Bahn Mi's area bit hit and miss, but there are heaps of places throughout Sydney that do a good one.
These are $15 which is a bit exy but well worth it.

I'd never wait 20 mins for takeaway food. Couldnt be bothered
Different for a restaurant however.
$15 pricey but I was charged $19 for a kebab in Penrith yesterday. All.I added was Tabouleh and Cheese. I normally take lunch to work for this reason. Takeaway is hit and miss unless know the spots and expensive

I've waited 10 mins for fish and chips at a local.
Yes, 20 minutes might sound excessive, but if I know I'm going to get a truly good meal at the end for a reasonable price, I would generally wait.
I too take my lunch every day to work. I make it the night before.
These Bahn Mi days at Abbotsford were a treat twice in 6 months. And I only had to wait 5 mins.

You should have hit the El Jannah at Penrith... $12.50 for a quarter chicken, chips and a drink. It's always good, you always know what you're getting. That's about as good value for money as you're going to find anywhere in Sydney I reckon
