Việt Nam Bread is commended as the finest one on Earth

In an article on a tourism site of UK media, Reporter David Farley stated that Vietnam has the most fascinating sandwich which is one of Best Vietnamese Food he has ever eaten.
 

Sandwich – (aka “Bánh mì kep thịt”) is a common food which can easily be found on every sidewalks in Vietnam, has appeared many times on international tourism site and voted as one of Best Vietnamese Food (Street Food) in the world. David Farley, a writer specialized in tourism and cuisine has posted his article about Vietnam’s Burger on BBC with the title “Is the banh mi the world’s best sandwich?”.

Below is his original post (credit to BBC: http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20141003-is-the-banh-mi-the-worlds-best-sandwich/1)

The cab driver stopped on the bustling boulevard Pho Hue and pointed at a mishmash of incongruent four and five-story buildings across the street. I hopped out and dodged buzzing motorbikes and exhaust-belching cars, trying to get from curb to curb.
 

Then I spotted it: Banh Mi Pho Hue (118 Phố Huế; 84-4-3822-5009), the no-frills sandwich shop named for the Hanoi street on which it sits. Nearly everyone I’d asked had said Banh Mi Pho Hue served the tastiest banh mi in Hanoi. But the family that’s run the shop since 1974 has a reputation for closing it whenever the cooks run out of ingredients. So when I arrived at 7pm on a Saturday and found it still open, I was delighted.
