In January 2025, Carmina reminded her to renew before their vacation, but Mom Violy insisted there wasn’t time and she’d handle it in California. When they flew on April 30, 2025, immigration in the Philippines warned her about the upcoming expiration.

Carmina's Review on Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi with All Natural Lemongrass Iced Tea from VietYum Philippines

The difference eating the Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi from VietYum Philippines is the way the make your 8" inch  baguette. It is not the typical way how the Vietnamese make it. Carmina can tell by the look and the taste in how they prepare your Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi is how a salad would be because there is additional cilantro on the top where you can see in my picture. The cucumber is on the edge inside the bread together with lemongrass chicken, shredded carrot, pickled radish, liver pate, mayo and hoisin sauce. The Lemongrass Chicken is shredded a way how you prepare a chicken sandwich at home only difference it has been marinated and cooked the Vietnamese way.
