making the best (hidden) deal in amherst even better- another banh mi rant

is this really from amherst? yes. is it under five bucks? yes. is it really not from black sheep? yes. does it really come with the fried egg? no. 

so apparently many people do not know the best, fresh, most scrumptious deal in our quaint amherst town is this sandwich, the so called banh mi, (which i went on a rage recently) from nonetheless the infamous miss saigon. miss saigon is definitely one of the popular asian restaurants which makes close-to-decent asian food, people looking for spicy asian fare, pho for horrible hangovers, or rumors tell me some people even go to see the attractive waitress. however, not many go for this sandwich, which is actually seemingly pretty authentic compared to the many banh mi i have tried in nyc, boston chinatown areas. the good part about it is that you can make customize it to your liking, for me less mayo, more cilantro and more veggies. they come in four flavors, bbq chicken, pork, beef and vegetarian. i usually go for the vegetarian, as the meat here tend to be a bit dry and flavorless, and the creamy avocado and tofu in the vegetarian wins over anytime. however, guys who are meatlovers should go for other options, which is not too bad. 

ah, now comes the ultimate question of, where did the egg come from? H was in charge of today's lunch, and he gave me the mystery message to only steal some oil, cucumbers and jalapenos from val. cucumbers and jalapenos? what kind of food needs these ingredients? i was clueless. 

marching into drew, i saw additional thai chili peppers (what??), eggs (scrambled eggs?? with cucumbers??), but the real main course was revealed from a plastic bag, which was still concealed in two paper wrappers tied with a rubber band, and sticking out of that was some sort of bread....... sandwich? banh mi! his idea was to create our ultimate banh mi by adding fried eggs (we saw a youtube video 'no reservations' clip that featured banh mi with fried eggs on top that looked amazing....... ), thai peppers to create some heat, and fresh cucumbers. 

it was... the best banh mi i ever had. i wolfed down this banh mi sandwich, adding another fried eggs after i was halfway through. lips burning from thai peppers, covered with bread crumbs and our hands sticky from oozing yolk, i say, the best idea H came up with. I dare you to top this!
