Best Eats This Week: Vietnamese Pesto and Bánh Mìs (Whaam Bánh Mì, London)

I’m quite good with table manners in public. Even with burgers, shell-on prawns and chicken wings -- I can neatly eat with grace. However, there are times when I’m just shamelessly picking things with my fingers and licking the plate like a starving child in an effort to not waste any trace of the food. That was the case with this Vietnamese pesto that accompanied the summer rolls at Whaam Bánh Mì – the new Vietnamese joint in Soho.
Whaam Bánh Mì is a simple take-away restaurant offering reasonably-priced Vietnamese sandwiches, summer rolls and salads. The sandwiches – where you get 6 different filling options including lemongrass chicken, BBQ shredded pork and luc lac brisket -- are brimming with fragrant herbs, crunchy vegetables, crispy shallots and slices of hot chilli. Together with a generous slather of chicken liver pate, sriracha and a choice of either lemon or wasabi mayo, they are simply sublime. They’re fresh, they’re spicy, they’re a perfect contrast of flavor, scent and texture and every bite is evocative of sunshine and summer.

Then there are the fresh prawn spring rolls – while they’re nothing to rave about, they come with this phenomenal Vietnamese pesto. Packed with herbs, lemongrass, parmesan and other wonderful things, it's a sauce that isn't merely tasty but exciting and fresh and different and leaves you licking the tub in in public.
