BBQ pork Bánh mì

Finally made it to Alex ’N‘ Rolls, and guess what? Their bánh mì is back on the menu! Thought I’d missed my chance after they ditched it last July. A heads-up for those who haven‘t been – their opening times are a bit of a mystery, so it’s worth a quick look at the Facebook group ”Is ALEX ‘N’ ROLLS open?!?!“ before you head down to Marrickville.

Now, about that roll. It was seriously tasty! At first glance, it seemed smaller than what I‘m used to, but nope, I was wrong – it was packed full! The BBQ pork was the highlight – so aromatic, perfectly fatty, and sweet. The pickled veggies added a nice, crunchy contrast, really rounding out the flavours. One funny thing though, the chilli seemed to all end up at the bottom of the roll, so it was like a spicy surprise at the end, lol!
