I embarked on a banh mi adventure after learning about several recommended spots in Richmond from Melbourne food influencers 2guys1city. With three bakeries in close proximity, I set off to explore. At each bakery, I ordered the crispy pork salad rolls with fresh chilli, essentially the crispy pork banh mi.

The first Banh mi I tried boasted a delightful crispy roll that was warm and fresh. It was generously filled with the usual suspects: mayo, pate, carrots, a whole spring onion, coriander, and pork with crackling. The combination was incredibly satisfying, and the flavours melded together perfectly.

What intrigued me about Hung’s Bakery (Formerly Phuoc Hung Bakery) was its stellar five-star rating on Google. The customer service was exceptional, with the staff addressing us as “bro” and “mate,” making us feel genuinely welcome and appreciated as customers.
