Mama's Crackles Description

Like all good, authentic Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, the crispy pork version at Mama’s Crackles is crunchy, sweet, slightly spicy, sour, salty and luscious all at the same time. And for just a modest sum of RMB20, you get to ingest Vietnam’s delectable history and culture. Tucked away in the lane right behind the Kodak shop on Xingsheng Lu is this little-known spot, not much more than a hole in the wall with only the essentials. We’ve walked past it a number of times, even stopped by along our drunken stupors, but never had the chance to savor Van’s homemade creations.
