yes - derek and i ate two banh mi-style sandwiches in two days. anyway - i ordered the pulled pork and derek ordered the pork belly special sandwich. i liked this one better than baoguette because the vegetables were more flavorful and more prominent. there was still a LOT of pork (as you can see in the picture), but once i removed (okay, ate) the larger pieces of pork, the proportions were perfect. derek's pork belly version was much juicier and greasier, but i was quite content with mine. the bread, however, was still off. and the portions were small. it's hard to tell from the picture, but this sandwich looked like a mini-banh-mi, maybe 3/5 the size of the baoguette.
btw - don't think that this is a cambodian version of a banh mi sandwich. derek says there's no such thing, but cambodians do eat vietnamese banh mi sandwiches.
