Where to wrap your lips around one of these iconic Vietnamese rolls
We’d say we’re in our Banh Mi era but we’re pretty sure this one’s a lifelong love affair.
That perfect combo of crispy and crunchy, soft and chewy, sweet and savoury, with a burst of freshness…and if you’re feeling brave, a little kick of spice too… mmm, so good!
It’s no surprise these incredible Vietnamese-style sangas have taken the world by storm! We’re so lucky to have so many spots around the Illawarra where we can grab our own delicious fix.
