Bun Mese

Bun Mese is more than just your standard Vietnamese roll that you can find on almost every street. They offer a more classy style roll with more variety to choice from. Options include the classic Vietnamese Pork Roll (of course), Cha Cha Chicken, peeking duck, beef, vege delight, Roast pork with crackling.
On entering I was greeted enthusiastically by one of the staff and ask if it was my first time here. He spoke with conviction about the menu and the options. Definetly one point of difference from standard pork roll spots where they usually shout at you «what you want, what you want?».
I decided to go with the beef roll. The beef roll contained succulent beef eye fillet with your standard salad options and chilli. I was given the option of the white or whole meal roll. I went for whole meal. The roll was really good and was packed with salad and plenty of meat. They sell the roll for $ 10 which is a little steep considering that the roll was smaller then the standard bread rolls most bakeries sell. Did taste great though and other options looked really good. Just feel they need to adjust the price down.

Recently returned and found that the yummy bread roll was gone, replaced by your average torpedo roll. The ground up chilli paste was gone too, replaced by your every day chunks of chilli. The duck meat was overly oily and literally dripped grease onto the table. And the chicken meat was dry and lacked flavour. Not sure what happened in the space of mere weeks, but they’re now the same as your local banh mi bakery — just a lot more expensive. There is certainly no differentiator anymore. Such a pity as this place used to be fantastic.

Delicious! I had the vegetarian — with moorish mushrooms, and beautiful fresh-​baked bread!
