Jawbreaker

Ouch! Feels like I got sucker punched!

Got so much on my mind at the moment that i forgot I had a quickie the other day. I picked up a banh mi at Parisian Bakery (wilcrest & beechnut)
It was about 6:30, staff was getting ready to close up.

I ordered the banh mi ga (chicken) with carrots only and no pate.
The bread was hard, it looked like it was sitting in the warmer for awhile. Chicken was shredded, I guess it's like pulled pork, except very dry. My chicken was heated up in a microwave. I wished the lady spread out the butter. She put a slab on there, where I would get eat a glob of butter or none. My banh mi was ok, I had better. Not sure if it was because I came during closing hours, and got bad quality or something.

I was so hungry, I took a bite while walking to my car. My 15 minute ride home was quite painful. Each bite I took, I can feel my jaw muscles working. A friend of mine told me he wasn't a fan of banh mi, because of the texture. How his jaws hurts everytime he eats one. Now I understand what he means.

There was a lot of food sitting around Parisian. I saw a cup of Bo Kho just sitting out for sale...is that safe?
Now I'm curious to know how fresh are those pastries/dishes left sitting out. Or what's the life shelf?

I'm going to have to go back & review Parisian again. Lesson learned, don't come 30 minutes till closing time!

Anti banh mi...for now...
