Sum - Lò Bánh Mì Điện, Hoi An, Vietnam

This was it. THis was the best banh mi we have had. Our guide recommended it (even in this tourist town, you can find good street food), and we were so happy with it. The bread was perfect, the fillings flavorful, and the pickles and the heat level were very good. Yes, it is a cart, but the choices available were excellent, and the price, as was true of all the Vietnamese food for Vietnamese people (ie. not tourists) was $1.25. We did struggle some with the issue of fresh vegetables and the water being felt by all we talked to to be unsafe, at least for us. So we were uber cautious at the front end of the trip, but allowed a little bit of leeway at the end, when we were soon to be headed home and able to recuperate from whatever might ail us. Happy to report there were no such repercussions.
