Menu Franco-Vietnamese Fusion Street Food
INTRODUCING BAGUETTE ME NOT! Franco-Vietnamese Fusion Street Food Baguette Me Not is a locally owned, casual dining Sandwich Bar that specialises in serving exciting FrancoVietnamese baguette sandwiches inspired by the very yummy Vietnamese Banh Mi. Our passion and craving for healthy eating has led us to offer these crave-able sandwiches to the people. Banh Mi is the Vietnamese word for bread and felt it was time to bring the great taste of Banh Mi to the market, especially to a foodie city like Perth. Our Values SLOW FOOD - A way of living and a way of eating Baguette Me Not (BMN) follows the SLOW food philosophy i.e. Seasonal, Local, Organic and Whole. All ingredients are sourced locally and where possible organic/free range. We are not fans of processed food so all ingredients we use are kept in it's purest form where possible.
THE GOURMET BANH MI STORY! HISTORY The starting point for any Banh Mi is the bread, a crunchy-crusted, fluffy-centred baguette (the name Banh Mi actually refers to the bread itself), introduced to Vietnam in the 18th century, when the country fell under French rule. The bread used for Banh Mi has evolved somewhat from its French origins, though - where once it would have contained only wheat flour, the Vietnamese have tweaked it to include rice flour as well, which is what gives it a beautifully crackly crust and featherlight interior. Throughout the French colonial period, the fillings were typical of what you might find in France - jambon, fromage or pâté. It wasn't until much later, once the French vacated Vietnam, that the fillings took on the Vietnamese flavours we see in Banh Mi today. Pâté remains, but in place of the ham is roast pork belly (and usually other lunch meats), along with a generous handful of coriander and slices of birdseye chilli or jalapeños for heat. Pickled vegetables such as carrot and daikon add gorgeous crunchy texture. Some versions of Banh Mi also include prawns, Vietnamese sausage, grilled pork, grilled pork patties, pulled pork, while you can also find a vegetarian version made with a tofu or mushroom filling. There's even a breakfast Banh Mi, filled with fried egg and onion, and drizzled with soy sauce. Sometimes a mayonnaise-like spread is added and it's not unusual for Maggi seasoning to make an appearance too. The flavours of a perfect Banh Mi should sing effortlessly from salty to sweet to hot, while the textures should burst in your mouth - it's all about contrast. And it's an example of great fusion if ever there was one.
