The other night as I made my way home after an exhausting day in the lab, Pooey requested that I get her a snack. The choice of snack was up to me. I decided to go to Nam Loong on Russell St. to pick up some cha siu baos (roast pork buns). At $1.50 each, I think it's a pretty good deal when you're standing in the cold with a bag of steaming hot buns in one hand and digging into the bun with the other (and your mouth).
When I got home with the buns, Ma was so insulted at the idea that I paid for the buns that she declared she was going to make some for us! And she did!
But then because Spuey was coming back from G-town, Ma also got us some poison pork rolls! Or more correctly, banh mi thit. We only call them that because a few years ago they were linked to salmonella poisoning. But the danger only makes the meal more worthy!
I actually don't know what's the going rate for these bread rolls anymore. About 10 years ago they were $2.20 which means they're probably around the $3 mark? I dunno. I just eat them.

Poison pork rolls are the best. They are $3.50 now Mally but still worth every cent. I had one for breakky. Nom nom nom.
I love these but due to a couple of stomachaches post-pork roll consumption I now have the grilled meats inside. It's just not the same though *sigh*
