Com Bánh Mì
Delivering farm-fresh Vietnamese grub, this Vietnamese joint has attracted much chatter with its controversial names - with its drinks menu suggestively entitled 'Sucky Sucky' and their chef ostensibly named 'Phuc Dat Bich'. Crudeness (and hilarity) aside, Com Bánh Mì serves delightful combo sets of rice, rice flour baguettes or pho, with which you can choose different toppings of deliciously flavoured meat. For a very affordable price, get your Vietnamese food fix here.
