That sweet white veggie is Japanese Daikon, a kind of Radish, Grego. It's about the size and shape of a carrot, and they just grate it into long strips, the same way as they grate the carrot.
Can confirm, a proper standard Bahn Mi Thit should have both pickled Daikon Radish and pickled Carrot, usually stored together in the same container. Sadly most Bahn Mi in Australia usually just has fresh Carrot, and lots of it for cheap filler.
Thank you for reviewing our most favourite local Banh Mi shop, Greg! Their Banh Mis are really tasty indeed and sometimes coming there when they are not too busy, I got nicer presentation rolls than your ones 😉
As I cradle the banh mi in my hands, I cannot help but be overcome with a surge of emotions. The simple act of holding this Vietnamese treasure in my grasp transports me to a world where history, culture, and flavors intertwine, creating a symphony that feeds both the body and the soul. The banh mi is not just a mere sandwich; it is a testament to resilience and the power of fusion, a harmonious blend of culinary influences that have crossed oceans and transcended time to find their place in this humble yet extraordinary creation. The banh mi's story is one of triumph over adversity, much like the spirit of the Vietnamese people themselves. Born from the vestiges of colonialism, it bears the marks of French influence in the form of its crusty baguette exterior, a legacy of the French Indochina period. But it is in the fusion of this European import with the vibrant, fresh, and fiery flavors of Vietnam that the banh mi truly becomes a symbol of strength and adaptability, an affirmation of the capacity of the human spirit to make the best of trying circumstances and forge a new identity that is uniquely its own. Each bite of the banh mi is an invitation to savor a rich tapestry of flavors, a journey through layers of history, and a celebration of cultural harmony. The bread, airy and light, yet crispy and golden, serves as a canvas upon which the rest of the ingredients weave their magic. The pâté, a nod to the French, unites with the Vietnamese trio of pickled carrots, daikon, and cucumber, creating a dance of tastes and textures that tantalize the senses. The cilantro adds a touch of aromatic grace, while the chilies and jalapeños ignite the palate with their fiery kiss. The succulent, savory, and often marinated proteins-be it pork, chicken, or tofu-serve as the heart of the sandwich, bringing everything together in a tender embrace. In the banh mi, we find a microcosm of the human experience. Just as its ingredients come together in a harmonious and complex interplay, so do the diverse elements of our lives intertwine to create the unique tapestry of our existence. The banh mi reminds us that it is in the merging of cultures, the fusion of disparate worlds, that we find true beauty and richness. As I take another bite, I am filled with gratitude-for the generations of artisans who have crafted this exquisite culinary masterpiece, for the farmers who have nurtured its ingredients, and for the universe that has conspired to bring this simple yet soul-stirring delight to my lips. The banh mi is not just a sandwich; it is a story, a symphony, a connection to a world beyond my own, and a reminder of the infinite possibilities that arise when we embrace the beauty of diversity and the power of unity. In this moment, I am one with the banh mi, and in its warm embrace, I find solace, comfort, and a sense of belonging that transcends the boundaries of time and space.
That looks delicious, Greggo…. I live in the desert Southwest in the US out in the middle of nowhere, so I haven’t got access to food like this but it sure looks good.
Looks like 1 of the BETTER Banh Mis you've had. But $11 is a bit rich! I can still get them in Melb for between $7-9 for the hot meat filling! Cold meat is still cheaper!
Greg if you love a good banh mi then check out kool beans near lindum train station. They are the best I’ve had so far… now you’ve inspired me to try these guys.
I was there the other day. I was very disruptive in the restaurant. The man came up to me and said if I don't quiet down he will Banh Mi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 joke hope it was funny🤣🤣😊
Best bahn mi is around Inala and darra. It's still cheap around Inala were as everywhere else is gone with the huge exciment in Vietnamese food and charge a fourtune for bahn mi but it's still best takeaway in Australia ATM. ITS DIAKON.The pate is what makes it bloody buttery for f sake
@@GregsKitchen that's what I thought....so I was surprised to see you doing a tasting at Lawson Chinese restaurant in NSW.... which is my go-to Chinese place...
@@excessivemenace2611 hi Jonny .....I thought so too ....but I recognised the car park......I'm sure it was Lawson.....I could be wrong... I'll search for it....
That pig looked a bit eneemic to me on first approach uh GregO but sounded well seasoned and crunched… we thought you may have got away with sans the ‘cumber but was hiding in thar…! Not far from oner me offices this joint so might try this offering… cheers Gibbo
Greggo, I’m not sure what your idea of “packed” is, but I literally saw one guy standing in that shop. We’re onto you, and your scheme…..you simply walk into a business and offer them promotion and free advertising on your channel in return for free food, don’t you? We love you, Greggo - but just a disclaimer for all ya’ll viewers out there, these reviews are inauthentic.
$11 for that shortie? No thanks that's double the cost that it should be and the only thing on it that isn't free to make is the pork. You're basically paying $11 for half of a pork chop.
the white thing is daikon radish, it's pickled along with the carrot.

Fascinating….
Ahh shut the FU and just eat the bloody thing!
Looks delicious and fresh and crunchy. Yummo.
Love your reviews Greg!
I think Grego just goes to these asian food places because there's a happy ending massage parlour 2 doors down.
Living in Vietnam now love these only cost about $1.50au here lol.
Always look forward to your videos x
Tropical and subtropical Australia should eat more Vietnamese food, it really suits our climate.
Great review Greg love the videos keep them coming. When will you be in geelong next I have something for you to try
$11? You really get ripped off in Queensland for everything.
That looks delicious, Greggo…. I live in the desert Southwest in the US out in the middle of nowhere, so I haven’t got access to food like this but it sure looks good.
Yeeee haaaw. American mustard maaaaaan.

Very nice. Thank you.
Mate you have to try the one at mermaid beach next to the exotic supermarket, they are the best and just like in the home country.
Greggo Who Yeah🤙Love the Vids and Tunes🍺💪
White pickled string you ate is probably daikon
The vegetable is the brilliant diakon which is a main ingredient in proper bahn mi pickled together with carrot.
It's Banh Mi not bahn mi.
Yes Greggo really enjoy the review keep doing them good greggo 😄

Looks great except for green stuff called coriander 💁✌️👌👏👍🍺
Have you ever been to 'Nam?
first love ya work greg
Time to leave slippy downs and get to Hanoi.
looks nice really fresh looking maybe you need to replicate it at home if you are willing to try
I'm at the place now, I told them that Greg0 sent me,... They didn't have a clue .... Having beef pho, 15.90$.. it's ok but nothing like sunnybank

Nothing is as good as Mr Bills.
You could get one for less than 2 us dollars in Vietnam.
Obviously. But they earn less money in Vietnam. Derp.
Oh yeah, I Love a good pork belly Banh Mi! P
Crack it up!
$11? Mate they saw you coming...and going. Time to change the colour of your ute.
I bought a bbq pork Bahn Mi for $6.50 last Friday.
Where abouts?!?!
@@GregsKitchen Penrith NSW. Better fill that tank and get down here.
@@GregsKitchen they're often about $6.50 in Sydney. Especially cabramatta.
From what i see people getting ripped off for one schooner in AUST these days, i reckon $11 for that sambo is excellent value mate. 😅😅😅
That's a crispity crunchy sandwich mate
Hi Greg...... what state are you in?

Good to see you in Logan Grego, lots of good little hidden food places in Springwood.
$11, it's an ask
Needs more American Mustard
$11 omg
COULD OF GOTTA A BJ ...
Danmit can’t any one of your establishments bake fresh bread or offer soft buns? Ffs
Bahn mi is a crisp roll if it's soft its wrong

As long as I can have it without Cilantro.
The Bread looks like a lot of crust and becomes crumbly. The Mysterious White Thing was funny. Pork is the Best.
Maybe it just needed some tomato sauce and a gherkin?
A Vietnam Bahn mi has a lot of all round nutrition as a take away meal.
Plus delicious.!
It's Banh Mi.
