Friday, May 15
Bistro Hoi An celebrates Vietnam’s Banh Mi Festival with Hong Kong’s largest bamboo charcoal banh mi, a record-breaking 20-inch show-stopper limited to just 20 per day – meaning they should be ordered in advance. The Vietnamese baguette is filled with chicken and pork liver pâté, five-spice pork belly, pork floss, pickled vegetables, spring onion, coriander, chilli and Vietnamese mayonnaise, and splashed with fish sauce.
