Bon Banhmi

I've been planning to visit Landmark for quite some time ever since I saw some posts about this banhmi kiosk and Kumori (which I have already tried thanks to the long weekend). But given the horrible traffic, my plan never materialized until when I had to source for showroom merchandise.Hello, Bon Banhmi! It's hard to miss this as several directional pull up banners are placed everywhere. There are banners near the escalator, right before the entrance door of the mall and even the passageway to Glorietta. But... I missed it and ended up circling around and checking |ooloo for clues. After a few minutes, I found it! Yay!But my enthusiasm was not reciprocated by the server who seemed to be having a serious dilemma or struggling with her monthly visitor. Anyhoo, I ordered a Traditional Banhmi (PHP119, medium | PHP134, large). I got my sandwich in less than 5 minutes and quickly took a big bite after a few snapshots. The banhmi was messy to eat! The baguette was quite crunchy and the crumbs tend to either fall or fly. The three different types of hams were sweet. and were slightly balanced by the cilantro and other veggies. But overall, it was still a sweet sandwich. Sadly, not exactly my kind of sandwich. But I would be interested to try another variant. 😁P.S. Landmark was PACKED at 1 PM on a weekday!!! LAST NOTE: I ate the leftover after 10 hours and it tasted so much better! The trick is to let the sauce set in first. :)

I had my sandwich at the newly opened Bon Banhmi kiosk at the food court of Alabang Town Center and I will probably eat their sandwich everyday for the rest of my life. Kidding aside, the crunchy crusty baguette slathered with tasty mayo and pate and filled with layers of cold cuts, crisp veggies and special sauce was hands down the best banhmi in town. One bite was enough to stir up memories of Hanoi and the taste of the authentic Vietnam sandwich.I have yet to try the other sandwich varieties (I am eyeing the roasted pork next) and their iced coffee. Thank you sandwich gods for bringing Bon Banhmi to ATC!

Hands down one of my favourite sandwiches. I absolutely love the bread. The pickled carrots and jicama could be crispier though. Perhaps the veggies were soaked in the vinegar syrup longer than necessary? I can easily finish one large banhmi in under 20 minutes. It was later on that I realized that people usually share one large order. At first, I thought I was just so hungry when I finished one, curious, I went back another day and bought another one. Same thing happened, I easily finished it as a snack in one go. I always go for the chicken banhmi and ask for extra coriander/cilantro. yum! I have yet to go to Vietnam and eat the real thing, but I'd happily settle for this one. I am hoping the artichoke iced tea will be available in Landmark soon!
