No seeds on bread

I'm trying to remember the last time I had buns garnished with seeds. A very long time, now.

Nhu Lan Bakery & Restaurant
50 & 64-68 Ham Nghi
Phuong Ben Nghe
District 1
Ho Chi Minh City  710157

GPS: 10.771010,106.703980

(Opposite the Financial Centre Tower)

Bakes it's own bread. You can get sliced loaves, too. BUT, IMO the dough is slightly too sweet. And NO SEEDS.

So what I do is to buy Banh Mi buns on the way home. I get mine in Quan 7. As they are small, it means I can buy fresh every day and not have to feed the birds with my older bread.

I buy my Banh Mi buns from a bakery with a yellow front, and a four-letter name beginning with Y in red! (Next time I go I will be sure and get the name) The buns are usually warm as they are continuously baking. VND2000 each.

It is located on TAN MY which is road at the last traffic light on NGUYEN THI THAP before you reach NGUYEN VAN LINH EXPRESSWAY.

GPS: 10.736319, 106.718316

TAN MY also intersects NGUYEN VAN LINH EXPRESSWAY near the notorious FV Hospital.

There is a CHO opposite the Banh My shop. If you go down SO 1 to the first intersection, then turn right you will be in foodie heaven. All down SO 1 are food vendors with the foodstuffs on the side walk.

Nearer the first intersection you will discover pans filled with swimming, jumping fish. They usually have tiger shrimp the size of small fish. And the rear end of the Cho has even more live fish.

They will dress the fish for you.

And the prices make PMH prices look like NYC. As there as so few Foreigners going there you can avoid bargaining as you will get charged the VNese prices.

That's about it. Bagged loaves at the supermarkets. Baguettes on the street. Brown and Wholemeal. Not seen a seed on those.
However,the imported fast food chains would have sesame seeds on their buns,I'm sure.

Best bread I have ever had comes from a small bakery in D5, it tastes like real bread and has plenty of guts to it,unlike most of the banh mi you find in Viet Nam.

A lot like a pot of fresh caught crab.
You get them home and boil them up.
Then crack the carapace,empty.

Crack the claws,empty.

Luck of the draw.

You cannot have a ward inside another ward.

Both Phu My Hung and Tan Phong are wards within Quan 7. In this case they are separated by a damn great 12-lane expressway. The expressway in the dividing line between these two wards.

Makes a difference if you are walking ... over a kilometres difference.

Quan 1 German bread fanciers might know one German bakery closed.

BigC (pronounced bicksee by locals). Check Google maps for your nearest one - IIRC there are two in HCMC. The nearest to me is 3.5km away in, Binh Tan District. I was in there yesterday and they had several different kinds of bread, including sliced loaves, all with no seeds.
