Welcome back to mmm-yoso!!!, the blog about food. Kirk is somewhere between San Diego and Guatemala, ed (from Yuma) is somewhere between San Diego and Yuma and Cathy is here now.
Hello again. The Mister had to work late the other night. I was hungry and did not want to cook. I told him to meet me at K Sandwich for dinner. I have posted about K and breakfast . Kirk has blogged aboutK sandwich as its own post as well as when He compares banh mi around town. It is on Linda Vista Road at Mesa College Drive.
So anyhow. The usual. We have to get a pate chaud ($1)
Crisp, light pastry surrounding ground pork, lightly seasoned. Never greasy, always good. It is sold in the lighted shelves next to the cash register.
I have to get hot milk coffee(cafe su da)(sua nong) $2.50. The Mister decided to try a lychee slushie ($2.45) .
I got my usual #24, the roast beef sandwich. ($3.89) On a fresh made croissant. The croissant is HUGE.
The roast beef is plentiful, but not too flavorful. There is white cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and pickled jalapenos on the sandwich.
The Mister got the #12, BBQ Meat banh mi. ($2.75)
I don't know what this BBQ meat is, but we like to call it "Vietnamese Kielbasa" and let it go at that. it is good, sliced thick, has a slight garlic undertone and is served on the fresh bread with daikon, sliced carrot, cilantro and sliced fresh jalapeno.
A lot of food and beverage, $13.67 with tax. Good, fresh food.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Everytime I see a pate chaud I can only imagine how it tastes...I've only seen photos online! That one looks pretty good for $1!

good ol K's. would stop by here whenever in convoy to pick up one or two sandwiches to go. is there your favorite bahn mi place?

Hi Su-Lin- The crust is not unlike the spinach tart you had in Helsinki. Light and layered-there is a cross section photo in the link to my breakfast post. The filling is not spicy, just a ground pork, not breakfast sausage spicy.
Sawyer- I like grabbing a bahn mi when I go to 99Ranch at Sau Voy in the main area. I also go to Cafe Dore when in that part of town. I used to like the bahn mi at Ba Le, next to Vien Dong 2 (now Thuong Phat) on Linda Vista. I suppose I know where to grab something no matter what part of town I am in...

I live right down the street from here, but never stopped in. The outside lights look great. They look like a New Years fireworks display. Great review!

Stopping randomly can make the best posts for your food blog, Caleb. I need to take pictures of the building at night. Thanks for stopping by our little blog. Now, go to K Sandwich.

I strongly endorse K's hot milk coffee. It might be one of my favorite menu items of any sort in the entire city. Simple. Hot. Really, really good.

Hello and welcome to our blog, Bruce. Yes the hot milk coffee is prepared very consistently here. It really goes with the grilled pork banh mi, if I were to do a "pairing".
