Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Carmina's Review on Banh Mee Express


Carmina found a reasonable price of a Bahn Mi that can fill you up from the price you pay for one sandwich you can purchase a second one to try which one you like the best.

You're choices are from Lemon Grass Chicken, Pork BBQ and Beef.

Carmina is not really a beef person so she didn't to opt it and go toward the two remaining flavors with all the vegetables all in tack inside the Bahn Mi.

Vietnamese sandwich has always been my favorite but I haven't found the right one that can say this is the one.

In other Vietnamese sandwiches I've tried before the bread is either too hard to chew or the texture of the bread doesn't seem to be fit to make it into a Bahn Mee.

Finally from soul searching Bahn Mee Express has solved my solution from what I wanted from a Vietnamese sandwich the bread is soft; meat is flavored that reaches your taste buds and all the vegetables inside can savory to be combined all together to make a delicious Bahn Mee.

  • Lemon Grass Chicken Banh Mi PHP 109.00 ($2.18) tastes a mixed of Filipino Adobo with a combination of Vietnamese flavoring in the meat. It is not a bad thing since we live in the Philippines there are other restaurant that is influence by combining pate, cucumber, pickled carrots and radish, mayo, cilantro and their special sauce.

  • Pork BBQ Banh Mi PHP 109.00 ($2.18) has a taste of the Filipino Pork Barbecue something I had tasted when I had bite into the sandwich when you combine the pate, cucumber, picked carrots and radish, mayo, cilantro and special sauce that is inside makes it Vietnamese.

I am very picky in food somehow I found my favorite one. I cannot wait to try their other dishes in the future.
