Hot Bread in Rockdale (chicken roll)

taking home some deliciousness after gym

name: onion chicken roll
price: $4.50 
ingredients: shredded chicken with onion, mayonnaise, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, carrot, coriander, soy sauce, salt and pepper
shop: Hot Bread near Commbank; 487 Princes Highway, Rockdale


thoughts
I chose a white bread roll today, and it comes with just enough of a crisp outer shell to give a really nice texture to the whole thing, and honestly is something that you can't do without when eating a banh mi. The shredded chicken is soft and the brown onion it is cooked with is juicy. There is probably more mayonnaise than usual, but it's a light Asian flavour that isn't too thick in consistency and I personally like it because it adds some moisture alongside the vegetables. Salt, pepper, soy sauce, and chilli are optional toppings that the shop ladies ask if you'd like and I only add SP and soy sauce because their chilli is intense!! This is my go-to place for banh mi when I'm in Rockdale because it's cheap and lovely. There is a chicken alternative called soya chicken roll which is $5 and comes with shredded chicken that has been cooked in soy sauce; it's also delicious but if I'm heading home I tend to save the 50 cents!

overall
3.5 out of 5 rolls. this is my baseline and i am really happy with it but i know that there will be better out there.

name:   salad roll price:  $4 (usual) ingredients:  cucumber, pickled carrot, lettuce, beetroot, coriander, shallot, onion, mayonnaise, soy sauce, salt and pepper, chilli shop:  Hong Hang Pork Rolls Kogarah; 23B Railway Parade, Kogarah my order Salad roll with no onion, shallot or chilli - but a bit of extra carrot please! thoughts Yum yum yum. A good salad roll. This store tends to put in quite a lot of soy sauce so by the time I'm finished with my roll I have a puddle of sauce in front of me haha. There was also a tiny bit of onion in my roll which I imagine got caught in the carrots, despite me requesting no onion. Otherwise crispy bread and delicious ingredients. I'm not sure if I recall incorrectly but I don't think they gave me lettuce when I bought a pork roll here? Is lettuce specific to the salad roll? This is also one of the few places that serve their salad roll with beetroot. Beetroot is love. The only other store that I can recall that does bee

name: pork roll price: $5 (usual) ingredients: pork, cucumber, pickled carrot, pickled radish (I think I spotted a piece in there), coriander, shallot, onion, chicken liver pate, mayonnaise, soy sauce, salt and pepper, chilli thanks to goodfood for helping me out with the ingredient names shop: Hong Hang Pork Rolls Kogarah; 23B Railway Parade, Kogarah my order Pork roll with no onion, shallot or chilli - but a bit of extra carrot please! thoughts Yummm this was a good roll. Bread was crispy. This was probably the most filling Vietnamese roll I've ever had due to the sheer amount of meat in it. I don't think any of the pork rolls I've had before had all three types of pork. I loved the meat but if you're not a big fan of meat or fatty meat then you may not enjoy it as much, as the barbecue meat had that fatty aroma to it (which I love). Everything else was great, I love pickled carrot so it's nice that they didn't put lettuce cause then I get more c

name:   salad roll price:  $4 (usual) ingredients:  cucumber, pickled carrot, coriander, onion, mayonnaise, soy sauce, salt and pepper, chilli shop:  Hot Bread, 487 Princes Highway, Rockdale my order Salad roll with no onion or chilli - but a bit of extra carrot please! thoughts Yum! Bread was crispy. Pickled carrots were yum. Very generous with the coriander. Of note the mayonnaise at this store is more creamy than others which is why Vanessa doesn't like the rolls here. I think the creamy mayonnaise is still very yummy. Also, because they use a wedge of cucumber here unlike a lot of other places which use a strip, my roll (pictured) had a creamy blander side on the right and very pickly flavoursome left side haha. Didn't really matter to me though, took turns eating both sides. They don't have shallot at this store (if I recall correctly). Overall, yet another yummy salad roll. overall 3.5 out of 5 rolls. By nature salad rolls are a little less yummy
