Agree with Dave. I just go to the lady that is manning the scale/register for the by-the-pound buffet and order there, either #1 (pork belly) or #6 (duck), spicy. and that is where the sandwich is made, not back where the man is chopping. that is for the roast meats over rice. the oven, bread and other ingredients for the banh mi are up front.

I dunno what was so stinky about Jen’s banh mi; I’d say it way the duck as my porky ones never smelled odd. Certainly never “farty”.

“Here’s . . . a generous helping of prawn crackers for size. . . . One final criticism, what is up with the four prawn crackers? First, only four just seems like a tease, . . ..”

How can one resist the clarion call of pork belly in a sandwich? Although I suppose I ought to venture into duck territory this week.

Sound like Number 7 Swill by the smell of it, but I do enjoy duck as well. Spare your co-workers—that is the polite thing to do. I still want to kill mine…

Sound advice. Which one do you normally order?

Hm. I’ve always ordered mine from the ladies up front at the registers, since that’s where the sign and the little oven that heats the sandwich are located.
