“The taste of the bread and beer became even more wonderful when I learned that the ingredients to make them were imported from Australia. 99% of beer in Vietnam is brewed from Australian barley, and a lot of bread is made with imported Australian wheat,” he wrote.

The bread chosen by the Prime Minister has a 45-year history in Hanoi's Old Quarter. The bakery was established in 1979 by owner Nguyen Thi Thu at 76 Hang Giay, Hoan Kiem, famous for its delicious traditional pate bread.

When Mrs. Thu passed away, her daughters-in-law continued to run the shop. For nearly half a century, diners around the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake, Dong Xuan Market, and Long Bien Market have been familiar with Mrs. Thu's family's unique bread flavor.

Ms. Vu Thanh Thuy, Mrs. Thu's daughter-in-law, who is currently selling bread at 76 Hang Giay, said that on June 3, 2023, she received a request to bring a bread cabinet to Duong Thanh Street to conveniently serve a VIP guest's lunch. Ms. Thuy was not allowed to reveal the guest's name. When Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appeared, she was very surprised. Confused about what ingredients to choose for the bread portion, Ms. Vu Thanh Thuy finally decided to choose the most traditional and popular ingredients for Hanoians, with the most traditional Vietnamese flavor.

Since the sandwich was chosen by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and publicly praised on social media, the bakery has become more popular. At noon, Ms. Thuy received many orders with the request "sandwich with the same filling as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese enjoyed".

The bakery owner also quickly changed the name on the signboard to "Prime Minister's Bread" to remind domestic and foreign diners of this memorable event.

To date, the BanhmiVietnam.net.vn brand has 8 locations providing bread to diners.
