city?

this thread is making me crave vietnamese rice paper rolls

used to be one on elizabeth st up near franklin st.

My vietnamese co-worker's sister is almost dyin' from having eaten one yesterday.

Those things are like russian roulette

but it might be shut now, so don't run off that way.

...but an oh so tasty russian roulette nonetheless

juice - i am in a world of pork roll love here in footiscray...

: )

i am making my own char siu over the easter break...

mmmmm. I lives right next door to footers Niko . Do you go to To Bakery for your fix?

there's one in brunswick and one near vic markets

i'd be scared of food poisoning

delicious things you can't find in adelaide: vietnamese pork rolls (or at least a good one), and pides. it kills me!

i vary it - i find there are a few good ones, juice. i also dig the 80c fresh dumplings at the little shop right in the back corner of the little shanghai market.

the one near the vic market closed... it is now a bong shop.. so tough to have to choose between one or the other

dogsvscats: try A-Dongs on Grand Junction Road road in Ottoway, near port adelaide.

vic-markets: I just had five south melbourne dim sims! ooooh baby!

dude, i live southside, ain't no way i'm going out to ottoway! but thanks for the recommendation. i did find pide's at castle plaza?

feh okay.

if you're out there though don't be fooled by the shabby building and crusty car-park (did i just describe Ottoway in its entirety?) the food is supa-spesh.

castle plaza? never heard of it. or maybe it was those 5 dimsims...

Sydney Road - about 3 shops north on the west side of Albert Street & Syd Rd intersection - authentic Viet bakery ..... exp. 2 years of pork rolls, with a ne'er a bad belly ..... make the trip up someday ... you gotta have the goods down your way though really ????

yeah - umm OK - you did oringally say CBD !!!

what does char siu have to do with pork rolls?

and how do you make it?

i'm mildly obsessed at present.

rose sunrise in newtown and little devil on broadway - my highest recommendation!
it's SO worth heading to cabra to eat fresh rice paper rolls and to watch them being made - they do it as quickly and as intuitively as me rolling a cigarette. it amazes me.

So love pork roll goodness of any description to be found in town??

Business opportunity someone!!!

Hey Turgid (your name makes me feel weird) word on the street is you had a hissy fit today and didn't go into work, true?

you know what i mean people.

the vietnamese pork roll scene in mascot in thriving let me tell you. queues a store or two long outside at lunch. everyone knows where its at.

the pork roll service portion of hot bread shops used to be this trolley in the corner. now the pastries are the minority.

excellent pork rolls in the Wentworth building, at Sydney Uni. It's a hole-in-the-wall run by Azzuri, on the food court level, under some concrete stairs. Took me a while to find, but that may be because I felt old and self-conscious.

The little old lady who used to make them doesn't seem to be there anymore. I asked the middle aged white guy who was making them if she was on holidays and when she'd be back. He replied cryptically with a long pause before saying...''well, she is on holidays.''

I'm really worried that he killed her and stole all her pork roll secrets cos those were fucking great. He's really slow on the tongs and couldn't make room for coriander so just didn't put it on. I'm a husk of a human being.

that place is too expensive...have you tried the place on glebe pt rd? pretty tasty, more your high street pork roll but still just $5.20.

They're $5 at Wentworth, you must be thinkin of somewhere else...

ah no thinkin of chicken rolls

Sometimes the Vietnamese ladies at work will put one in my lunch box. One of their husbands owns a bakery in Springvale. Fuck they are good.

Sweet!

And wholemeal. Fucking WHAT?!!!

Only because the white rolls are as suss as Jenny's painted-on eyebrows..

i had one at the glebe pt road place and it was rubbish.

mighta been an off day tho.

the chicken rolls are good. but really once having tried marrickville pork roll everything else is kind of shit.

This guy gives a pretty good round up. Preston is under represented in any talk of banh mi.

The Naughty Chef in the food court at Suncorp in Sydney CBD is suprisingly tops !

I love how the seemingly Viet bakery on King St. still uses the side of counter that could so easily be turned into a banh mi bench still, 10 years on in the viet roll advance, is being used for a gelato fridge that I've never seen anyone by from.

Finally found a place that does these in Epping (the bakery on Beecroft Rd) - epic disappointment. I was so excited too...

nothing beats the smith st one. i dont think pate should be on them

where do i get a cheap one in darlinghurst?

Core ingredient alec m. You're opinion had been deemed incorrect.

Your. I was drunk.

Vietnamese Bakery, Safeway arcade off Glenferrie Rd in Hawthorn do a great BBQ Pork & salad roll for around $6. I eat them 2-3 times a week, can definitely vouch.

Anyone tried Fobrolls in city?

mule said 1 day ago: where do i get a cheap one in darlinghurst?

There used to be a place in that mall on the corner of Oxford and Riley that was alright. Dunno if it is still there.
