Bún bò Huế, one of the best soups in the world. Maybe even the very best. Shout-out to central Vietnam for creating this son of a gun, heavenly bowl of delicious noodles. This place here is well and truly a hidden gem, and I'm pretty sure the BBH here is a temporary special with only limited amounts available daily (for now). It's called Banh Mi Anna in Birrong. It's a pretty plain hole-in-the-wall spot, with a few photos of Vietnamese food (and dim sum?) on the outside, and a text-only menu on the wall inside. I visited on a bánh mì recommendation from a Birrong local, and that's what most customers were ordering. The bánh mì thịt heo quay (crackling pork) was pretty nice. A little untraditional to see Aussie mayonnaise used, but the touch of sweetness was actually quite tasty amongst the slices of roast pork. Ask for extra pate if you can. But back to the BBH. 'Bún bò - $15' was scribbled onto the wall menu in black sharpie. That's what makes me think it's a special. But goodness gracious me, it was glorious and I'm so glad we made the split second decision to order it. This BBH is as good as one you'd try at your Vietnamese aunty's place, or from Vietnamese home-cooks who sell their food on Facebook marketplace. The soup is rich, with deep deep layers of meaty flavour. Saté and a super dose of lemongrass make the soup aromatic as. The noodles had a nice bitey texture and coupled with the crunch of the fresh salad you add in, it's a serious flavour and texture blockbuster. There's only 6 seats inside the restaurant, 2 by the window and 4 on a table. Snag the table and you can catch the sauce tray, where there are jars of house-made saté and a very spicy chilli sauce. Combine the two with hoisin sauce and you'll have the perfect sweet, spicy, tongue-tingling sauce to dip the slices of pork and brisket in! 📍 Banh Mi...
Read moreWow, absolutely amazing breaky. First visit I endulged in the Roast Pork Bahn Mi which was absolutely scrumptious, the crackling and succulent Pork pieces combined with the usual bahn mi fillings. It was that good I had to go back for round 2 the next morning, this time try something different from the menu. Round 2. This time I needed to try a meal and test the waters on their hot food. Jack highly recommended me try the Beef Pho, which I'm not really a fan of as I have had many negative encounters with this dish at other establishments. I took the offer he done a good job selling this dish and boy was I impressed. Presentation caught my eye, and then Jack even prepared the sauces and schooled me on how to eat this type of dish and mate I really enjoyed I even thought I wouldn't be able to finish as serving was I seemed very generous. Excellent customer focus and service provided, thank you Jack for looking after me on my visit will definitely be back for more. A must place to check out if ever...
Read moreBanh Mi has long been used to manage a broad range of health conditions.
The treatments are based on the understanding that all forms of matter – including our body’s cells – vibrate at different frequencies.
Factors such as stress, depression and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at non-optimal frequencies.
The flavour stimuli of the Banh Mi lead to entrainment, a form of beneficially modified brainwave frequencies.
The first brainwave state to be reached is alpha, which is defined by frequencies between 8 and 12 Hz. Alpha brainwaves are associated with creativity and feelings of relaxation. In this state, people experience daydreams, associative thinking and an animated imagination. This state is quickly followed by an influx of theta brainwaves, which fall between 4 and 7 Hz. Normally, the theta brainwave state is associated with deep meditation, hypnosis...
