Convenience on Daws should really be called«Banh Mi for $ 4.50». Get there early for lunch because a hefty line usually forms between 12 and 1pm and spills onto the street. As I work within walking distance, I’d say I’ve eaten here at least 50 times and tried every combo of Banh Mi on their menu, including the experimental satay Banh Mi. My favorite is crispy pork, however their pork combo which is a more traditional Banh Mi, and the chicken are also great. Their rolls are fresh, they use good ingredients and always ask«chili and coriander?», to which I reply«yes please». One thing I will say though, is that Banh Mi isn’t an everyday food. I found this out by eating them every day for about two weeks when my fridge was broken. Lucky that Convenience on Daws has a huge range of other Vietnamese delights such as cold rolls, vercimilli salads and satays, as well as pad thai, Hokkien noodles, Thai and Indian Currys and more. I will be back!

Placidly driving along Daws Road one fine afternoon, I just about gave myself whiplash as something shocking snapped me out of my daze. Doth mine eyes deceive me? For serious, I ask myself? And what was it, I hear you ask eagerly? $ 3.50 Vietnamese meat rolls.(Or Banh Mi, if you will). Tucked away just before the corner of Daws Road and Winston Avenue is Convenience on Daws, a teensy little convenience store that has popped up somewhat recently within an equally teensy group of shops. The store is small, sure, but I don’t go there for the groceries. I go there for the delicious, fresh made Vietnamese rolls that are seriously hard to come by if you’re south of the city. So far I’ve only tried the crispy pork, and it’s doubtful that I’ll branch out for something new, due to the deliciousness of said pork. The rolls are also made with a super tasty garlic mayo, handmade by one of the store owners. And did I mention they’re $ 3.50? I did also see fresh cold rolls and steamed chicken buns, but they were merely peripheral — I tend to be a touch single-minded when it comes to Banh Mi. The people that run the store(and I assume own it) are also really lovely, so it’s fair to say I have a bit of a crush on this store. *Word of warning for those in search of hangover food: the only downside to this joint is that they’re not open Sundays.(I almost cried when I learnt this the hard way)
