jasmine deli

So on my way to the ACP meeting me and a friend decided to go to Jasmine deli for lunch. It is a Vietnamese place. For the first time I tried Banh-mi which I had intended to try for a long time. It is a Vietnamese sandwich which is made on  Vietnamese baguette. The baguette is made with rice and wheat flour.The sandwich was filled with pickled carrots and radish. It also had green chillies, cucumber and plenty of fresh cilantro. The bread had a slather of spicy mayonnaise which had some lemon,garlic, chilly oil and spices which added a certain kick to the sandwich. To wash down the sandwich I got a cup of green tea bubble tea. It is a kind of shake with green tea, shake powder, sugar, ice, and tapioca pearls. A wide straw is used to drink this tea so as to suck up the tapioca pearls.The place had a nice ambiance. The service was quick.The only thing to keep in mind while going here is that they only take cash. I had to go across the street to an ATM to get cassh and they were accommodating of that.
