    Out of curiosity why is the company called bunme as opposed to the correct spelling? Less-deterring version for locals?

    Ps. I would try the special (no way in the world would I pay $6) if I were around.

      "Bunme" is much closer to the actual pronunciation. Must be a branding choice.

        No, that's not close to how "bánh mì" is pronounced. Real bastardisation of the word if that's the intention…

        • ballistykx on 04/08/2015 - 08:58

          How would you equate "bánh mì" to an "English" pronunciation then?

          No I think 'bun me' is quite close to the correct pronunciation actually

          @shopping4love:
          English pronunciation of "bun me" can be roughly written in Vietnamese as "bân mi" - different vowels and tones.

          @ballistykx:
          Sorry, I'm not a linguist, so can only copy and paste this phonetic spelling:
          IPA: /baɲ˦˥ mi˧˨/
          Hear it in vdict or any other online dictionaries.

        • ballistykx on 04/08/2015 - 20:13

          @downtime: Hence, "bun me" is the closest English pronunciation.

        • xiahwolf on 04/08/2015 - 21:14

          @downtime: Except it's less palatal nasal and more alveolar nasal.

          As a Viet, I reckon bun me is the closest approximation for English speakers.

          @ballistykx: @xiahwolf:
          When it comes to food, English imports foreign words: parfait, croissant, consomme, aioli, lasagne, macaroni, pancetta, prosciutto, kebab… Why bastardise Vietnamese food names ?

          Edit: 'bun' has the sound 'ʌ' /bʌn/, same as in blunder /ˈblʌndə(r)/, very different from the 'a' in 'bánh' which is similar to baa /bɑː/ or the second 'a' in banal /bəˈnɑːl/
          Best quickie way to learn to pronounce "bánh mì" is to go to online dictionaries (eg http://vdict.com) and listen to the series of words: ba - anh - ánh - banh - bánh, i - ì - mi - mì

          @downtime: You notice anything about the words you've mentioned? They're all not tonalised, which makes it way easier to pronounce by those who speak non-tonalised languages. And I'm pretty sure there will be a few French people complaining about how no one pronounces croissant right. There is nothing bastardised about Viet food names except the spelling, and even when they try to get it right, they usually spell it bahn mi instead of banh mi. Look at the context - this is a stylised spelling for a store. They're not running around claiming this is how it's actually spelt.

          Also, I am Viet and I'm in my final year of linguistics. I know perfectly well how to read and write phonetics, nor do I need an online dictionary to tell me how to pronounce my language. For those who know the language, yes there is a difference. For the majority of Australians who will be eating at this place, no, the difference is not huge at all. I have transcribed the speech of many Viets, and a lot of them pronounce it with a /ʌ/. I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce it with a long a, nor any other long vowel.

          Besides, there are a variety of Vietnamese dialects, there is plenty of mixing between them, and not everyone pronounces words the same way. There is no correct way. Just because you pronounce it one way does not mean another Viet person is wrong.

        "Bangme" is even closer

        • [Deactivated] on 04/08/2015 - 17:10

          There's an actual bakery in SA called "sticky fingers"

    • astrotrain on 04/08/2015 - 09:16

      Theres a pop up store I've seen around sydney called Pok Lol lselling pork rolls maybe the same sort of hilarious brand positioning?

    • ausmechkeyboards on 04/08/2015 - 19:09

      Maybe a play on words. "Bun me" like "beer me"

    Maaan, I'm jealous; I love Vietnamese pork rolls. The key to a good one IMHO is a bit of fresh/hot chili but not too much, and lots of fresh coriander.

    • umadbrahhhh on 04/08/2015 - 07:51

      The key is actually pate and butter

      • Certified Angus on 04/08/2015 - 07:58
        +3

        This is correct, next time ask for one without butter and see how the crunchiness to creaminess ratio goes wrong

      The carrot shreds also should be pickled for that beautiful sweet/sour taste. Had rolls with carrots which weren't pickled a couple of times and man, it was disappointing. You could tell something was missing flavour wise.

      Okay. I know what I'm having for lunch today >_<

      • Tal_Shiar on 04/08/2015 - 13:25

        I've never had one, but stop making me hungry!

        • [Deactivated] on 04/08/2015 - 16:44

          Get out there and get yourself a pork roll, my friend :)

          Maybe do some googling first to find out where to get a cheap, good, authentic pork roll fix first.. I see you're from Melb.. wish I could point you in the right direction :( I'd hazard a noob guess that Springvale would be the right place to start taste testing.. but that's from my few trips to Melb and overhearing that Springvale is quite populated by the banh mi gods (Vietnamese peeps).

          Nearly kept typing Springwood there. Derpy NSW person here.

    Can't wait to go back to Vietnam. $2.75, I don't want to buy the shop mate just 1 roll will do! So good & so cheap.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/08/2015 - 08:44

    Around $3 in Springvale (Vic) and around 2 dozen outlets vying for business.

    • markj on 04/08/2015 - 09:05

      Wish it was the same in Sydney, they're more expensive here

        go to Cabramatta

          Go to Marrickville..

        • markj on 04/08/2015 - 16:00

          @billyb67: Any particular shop?

          @markj:

          There's at least six there but I'd say the best would be either Marrickville pork rolls or Delish right next door.

          Still $4-4.50 but much bigger than the crap they serve you in the city for an even higher price…

          Or if you have the time, go to cabramatta where $2.50-3.50 is the normal price…

          @billyb67: I haven't seen rolls for less than $4 in Cabra for a while.. am I missing the cheaper places somehow?

          edit - I stand corrected. http://www.noodlies.com/2015/06/biting-into-a-vietnamese-por…

          Thanks for the heads up.

    • Craze on 04/08/2015 - 20:07

      Which store for $3?

      I am from Sydney and moved down to Melbourne. I find that Melbourne banh mi is really lacking on the pate. I've asked around and people seem to think pate is optional. No way! I love heavy pate on mine.

  • congo on 04/08/2015 - 09:07

    Is this the same store as Bunme in Sydney?

    For anyone who has never had a Vietnamese role (chicken, pork, meatball, or salad) you don't know what you are missing out on. $2.75 is a great price too.

  • congo on 04/08/2015 - 10:13

    I remember the old days when banh mi were $2 in Cabramatta :)

  • mayo88 on 04/08/2015 - 10:32

    Seems like its one roll per customer, as i tried putting in 2 rolls into the website and it only deleted 2.75 half the price of one roll.

    • mayo88 on 04/08/2015 - 12:33

      Can anyone confirm is it 2 rolls for half price or only 1 roll?

      • tbg0011 on 04/08/2015 - 15:50

        1 roll for half price. Had one from there today and they are pretty good!

  • Hiphopopotamus on 04/08/2015 - 11:47

    very cheap at that price, fair at the regular price, i'm impressed!

  • unifex on 04/08/2015 - 12:02

    I picked up a pork roll from my local Vietnamese bakery today, but I asked for it in a a cheese and bacon roll instead of the standard bun. It was pretty amazing.
