For the banh mi baguette, Lam devoted a great deal of time searching for the perfect bread while creating a tasty pate and rich garlic aioli to elevate the banh mi experience. Instead of the traditional carrot and daikon garnish, Lam and Yeung developed a more expensive and tastier adornment of house pickled carrot and papaya. Happy Farms of Texas, a one-woman operation out of Katy, provides the chefs with fresh herbs and produce for the restaurant.
The beverage choices are just as thoughtful with fresh-pressed juices, ube and pandan lattes and Vietnamese iced coffees made with New Orleans coffee of choice, Cafe du Monde. The espresso-based drinks will be made with beans from Double Barrel Coffee Roaster, a small batch operation in Missouri City.
