Baguette House

We head over to Chinatown in North Austin a couple times a month for groceries at MT Supermarket, but never noticed Baguette House. It's on the corner, tucked in the back of the Chinatown complex. Happy Meal and I popped in here for lunch recently.

The vegetarian Banh Mi (#10) can be vegan if you take away the mayo. The super duper thing about it, is that there is wheat gluten and tofu. It doesn't change the taste much, but it adds a great texture. Same with the veggie spring rolls - tofu and wheat gluten. They are fancy. And giant. And phallic.

Maybe that's why I liked them so much.

Just being honest.

Happy Meal ordered the #1, some kind of meat banh mi. I didn't pay attention so much, because I had large spring rolls in my mouth. Whatever it was, he liked it. He has also tried a couple other sandwiches. He does love the one I get, but never orders it. It's like Happy Meal has an inner voice telling him to order meats. Lots of meats.

Back to the veggie Banh Mi. Crispy but soft bread, crisp and fresh vegetables, and cilantro and jalapeños. Damn it, it was just really good. And I keep thinking about the spring rolls. Nope, not because I pretended to be in my own porn movie, but the tofu/wheat gluten was something that I've never had in a spring roll. And the Penis Sauce, oops, I mean PEANUT Sauce was really good.

It's super cheap. Two sandwiches and an order of 3 spring rolls is like twelve bucks. Even the vegan offspring like this place. All of our thumbs are up for Baguette House.

Now I'm hungry.
