- I talk a bit about my latest mapping project - creating maps showing banh mi price information across Melbourne. And you get four for the price of one!

Mate, you've done it again, this video is going into the pool room.
Sent the map links to my phone so I can track them down.
And you've made me hungry...thanks Phillip!
You're a national treasure now. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for this - I never knew I needed a video like this, but here we are
Koornang rd has a lot of different shops, and so does Chadstone so thats why its somewhat surprising or skewed for Hughesdale, Chadstone etc.
Thank you for your Melbourne based informative videos
What an indispensable map! This is an essential survival map for anyone who needs a good bahn mi to satisfy a craving need for sustenance or when one has a little spare time while waiting for the train and one is feeling a little peckish.
I could do with a barbecue pork bahn mi right now!
But I live in Sacramento California. I need Philip do a map here!
Viet bakeries are always good: I was told it was due to the influence of the French when they invaded them before the Yanks.
What a fun little concept for a video! I always felt lucky to live in the east with its large Vietnamese population and bahn mi options (like Springvale for example) but I was surprised to see just how evenly spread out and common the bakeries appear to be in all suburbs (that aren't the CBD), assuming you've missed a few here and there. Either way, very interesting! And now I'm hungry....lol
I'm very surprised they're not more concentrated in the Vietnamese areas: the western suburbs and far southeast. Maybe pho places reflect that more. I sometimes quip the Sunbury train line is the 'Pho Express.' Like Footscray, Sunshine, St. Albans..
Finished off by District 3429 in Sunbury.
In Vietnam no such thing looked around banh mi rolls banh mi rolls inVietnam
I've just stumbled across this video. Good stuff!
Did you hear about the Vietnamese Starcraft player who got banned for cheating? He said "Fine then....
....Banh Mi!"
Sounds like a great start for a Bahn Mi App.
Your channel has lots of little gems like this video xx
Before they became popular , in foorscray about 5-6 years ago you could get one for $4
Good work, I'm horrified at the thought of doing it with 1 monitor though!
Please add Superstar Bakery and Cafe, 11 High St, Hastings VIC 3915. Great tasting Banh Mi. I think they are about $11 now, and they come in roast, crispy and cold pork options.
Love it! Thanks 🙂
Love the effort here, but slight issue with using Crispy Pork OR Roast Pork, which will yield skewed results because Crispy Pork is usually the most expensive option, sometimes by $2-3. Tofu, Chicken, or Cold Cuts/Pork would ordinarily be available and at a similar price point each.
Thanks! And yes it's generally the priciest option. I had a quick scan of some menus before I started and crispy pork was the most common across them all. I've used crispy pork as the default (which appears to be served by almost all the shops) and roast pork as a backup. It's not perfect but the best I could think of!
Absolutely great video btw! I love it. I have done such similar maps about types of restaurants but nothing as good as this! Would be interesting. How did you make the map, a particular website?
Thanks! I used a couple of different things, I talk about the process here: maps.philipmallis.com/banh-mi-map-of-melbourne/
Great video! What is the light blue flag next to your monitor?? :)
Thank you! That's a little United Nations flag from my model UN days at uni
@@philipmallis oh cool, nice one!
$12 for a Banh Mi is ridic!!!! I used to buy them for $6 in Richmond (13 years ago, however).
Hey. I am just curious, did you not get any Ban Mi options in Thomastown? We have two which are pretty good.
I did find one but unfortunately I didn't have any price data so it wasn't included in that map. There were a few like this, listed here: umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/banh-mi-mystery_713060
@@philipmallis I could send them to you. One is a Viet restaurant that does Banh Mi, and another is a bakery. Both on high st, quite cheap too.
I have not eaten at these bakeries for years because being vegan and gluten-free that has given me a different concept of food. Yeah that is true Melbourne is a very big city. (I am sure you have done a “very good job), very extensive.
the data analysis can be interesting but....a goal of price mapping a cheap food (so you can drive to the cheapest?) is not that worthy, especially that taste is much more important....in food that's literally a few dollars. people flock to these establishments because of the taste...otherwise there's chains of factory produced and not very enticing cheap stuff. many people still dont understand what they ask for, and insist on a drive to the bottom.
popularity drives prices up...besides the disrupted supply chains etc.
Philip mate,
Banh Mi are not sandwiches. They are rolls! Sandwiches are a filling between two slices of bread. Calling anything between any old farinaceous material like buns or rolls a sandwich is a perverse and ignorant Americanism. Use of this and other Americanisms should be punishable by horse whipping, an extended stretch in gaol , or both.
