Vietnamese bakeries – Best eats!
Posted on | August 13, 2009
So I’m not sure if it’s the same in every city, but in Melbourne in nearly every suburb, Vietnamese bakeries have popped up like a plague of places to get great cheap food.
Their business model is high turn over cheap product. Generally they use bread rolls baked freshly onsite, they have a refridgerated baymarie with a variety of traditional salads and condiments. Of course spring rolls and dim sims are on the counter.
One of my favourite’s is the Vietnamese pork roll, they put in a variety of types of process and sliced pork, lettuce, coriander, onions (sometimes crispy), pate, a soy like sauce and chilly (of course, I ALWAYS hold the cucumber). I know that it’s probably not the best quality meat cuts, but it’s cheap and tastes good.
Now the point of this post is to highlight N Lee Bakery on Smith Street in Collingwood. N Lee is always packed and thankfully there is usually at least six staff on hand to process all the orders. My latest N Lee favourite is the pork meat ball roll, it cost $4 and comes with Vietnamese salad, crushed pork meat balls and some of the sauce that it was cooked it in. Forget what it is and just eat it…
