Soon after my old company moved to 3A An Duong Vuong street, Q.5 in 2010, someone introduced nearby Banh Mi shop namely "Banh Mi Ha Noi" which run by an old lady and her family. 1 year before that I try some from other shops but don't felt tasty Really this shop shows me the real taste of Vietnamese traditional Banh Mi. After that until today, sometimes I enjoyed that taste and sometimes 2 banh mi together
Accidentally today I go there to buy again but not tasty like before!
The same old lady sit in front of her Banh Mi cart which moved into one corner. I saw her old shop (45 An Duong Vuong) reconstructed and someone started a Pizza-Pasta restaurant. Yeah, I saw some foreigners coming out from that shop!
I think this lady and family forced to move from old shop and still want to continue nearby
Now you can guess why today's Banh Mi not tasty like before!
Will traditional foods sweep off and fast food culture rule all over the world?
Young generation rushing to KFC, Mc Donalds, Lotteria..... though their parents cannot afford that
I tried some situations, these kind of fast food but never felt a better taste than mixed veg porridge make at our own home!
Still I remember, when I worked in Long An University, one of my colleague (a Vietnamese Lecturer) almost everyday come to bus point with a case of sweet potato Yeah, that's his breakfast!
I saw many times that he enjoying that natural food.
I doubt, young generation can enjoy like him or not.
