- Banh Mi originated with the introduction of French bread during the French colonial period and developed uniquely in Vietnam as a delicious sandwich. It features a light texture based on French bread, with a perfect balance of pâté, meat, vegetables, and a sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce. Ho Chi Minh City, in particular, is widely beloved locally as the birthplace of this delicacy. The French bread has been adapted to a softer texture to suit the local climate, which gives Banh Mi its characteristic fluffy flavor. Even without being startled awake, the author is already high-energy, so let's quietly observe from a distance.
