Only 1 type of topping, sold 2 hours per day

Aunt Thanh, owner of the Dong Ha City overpass sandwich cart, is 65 years old this year, residing in Block 8, Ward 1, Dong Ha City (Quang Tri). Previously, Aunt Thanh sold sandwiches at the old Dong Ha bus station, but has now moved to sell at home.

No borax or preservatives

It is no coincidence that this simple noodle cart has existed for nearly 30 years. Aunt Thanh shared that for those in the business, the most important thing is the heart. According to her, you have to put all your heart into the food, how to make the best, cleanest, and ensure food safety, only then can you pursue this profession for a long time...

The bread with salt, pepper and a few Vietnamese coriander leaves looks very simple, but it makes a difference. Just pork skin and pork sausage but it creates a unique flavor for the noodle dish and makes customers remember it forever.

"What makes the difference, and also my pride, is that the sausage never contains borax or preservatives. The sausage is always served with hot bread, and you can blow on it while eating. Always listening to customers' feedback and making positive changes every day, maybe that's why customers come back here many times. There are many regular customers who have been eating here for decades," said Aunt Thanh.

Every morning, it only takes 2 hours to sell out.

Aunt Thanh's bread cart's peak time is around 7-8am. At this time, customers come and go continuously, and Aunt Thanh and her two sons take turns making food for the customers but still can't keep up.

"On average, the shop sells 30 pork skin rolls, 10 pork rolls and more than 300 loaves of bread every day. It has been going on like this for a long time, with no signs of slowing down. Many people who come later, run out of pork rolls, and keep asking why the shop doesn't make more to sell. But I'm really old, I don't have the strength to do more. My children are all grown up now, each with their own job, and I don't know if anyone will continue this profession," said Aunt Thanh.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Hung, a long-time customer, said he has been eating bread here since he was in elementary school. Now that he has a wife and children, he still cannot forget the taste of the bread here. The pork skin is delicious, smooth and chewy. Taking a bite with bread is great...

"There was a time when I only ate banh mi cha here for a whole month. Every morning when I woke up, I craved banh mi cha, and couldn't think of anything else. I've tried many places, but honestly, it's hard to find a place that has the same delicious taste as here. The cha da here is very different," Mr. Hung praised.

During the holidays, Quang Tri compatriots in many places order Aunt Thanh's sausages. Sometimes she sells 100 sausages a day. Aunt Thanh also wants the food she makes to be known and loved by many people, but because she doesn't use preservatives, the sausages can't be kept for long, making it difficult to transport to far away customers.
