Had Friday day off and boyfriend took a day off from work as well so we could go to Ma Wan Island to explore this little island famous for Noah's Ark theme park. We weren't there to visit Noah's Ark but to go photograph the abandoned village located in the island.Arriving around 2 PM, we stopped for some food as we hadn't had lunch yet and we looked around the various small restaurants at the harbour and found this place. Saigon Baguette. It apparently served baguettes and croissant sandwiches.
Arriving around 2 PM, we stopped for some food as we hadn't had lunch yet and we looked around the various small restaurants at the harbour and found this place. Saigon Baguette. It apparently served baguettes and croissant sandwiches. There is no seating available and is a clearly a take away only place. Though it was small, it had a lot of really interesting little trinkets inside used to decorate the place.
Prices weren't expensive and all came with a drink. Boyfriend had another place he wanted to take me to for food so we decided to share a sandwich together. We originally wanted a baguette but the owner said it was only available on weekends and we were there on a Friday. So, we decided on a pork patty and scrambled egg sandwich on ciabatta and an ice coffee.
Yeah, today I brought my real camera out today as you can tell. The sandwich was made to order so it was nice and warm. And this was a good tasting sandwich. The scrambled egg was fluffy and soft. The pork patty was ok and obviously bought from elsewhere. But the lettuce and tomato was fresh. The best part was the bread. I was doubting for $24 that included a drink that they would use ciabatta but they did! I was impressed. That made it pretty cheap! You definitely can't get this in Central. The bread was soft and fragrant. Ice coffee was not something I liked as it was the Chinese styled cha chan teng coffee. I"m not a fan of that type of coffee.
Definitely a nice option if doing a relaxing island hop.
