Chicken Satay Banh mi
from Lokha
Grilled chicken dressed in peanut butter satay sauce with lettuce, cucumber, onion, shallot, pickled carrot, pâté, house-made soy sauce and special pickled mayo and chilli
Today was a bit of a hectic one—running around between places—so I made a quick stop back at Lokha for another round of their bánh mì. I’ve been slowly working my way through the menu, and this time I went with the Chicken Satay bánh mì.
The sandwich was generously filled and pretty tasty overall. The chicken was juicy and well-cooked, and the satay sauce had that creamy peanut butter richness you’d expect. It leaned more sweet than spicy, which worked well with the savoury notes from the house-made soy and mayo combo. I also added fresh chilli, which gave a sharp little kick and helped brighten up the richer elements.
That said, in hindsight… probably not the best choice before a dance class. It was a bit on the heavier side, and I definitely felt it .
Still, I’m keen to keep working my way through the menu over the next few weeks. Just gotta remind myself to go for something lighter next time.
