'Super expensive' bread costs more than 2.2 million VND/loaf in Vietnam

Hidden away in the market on Ton That Dam Street (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), a shop is surprising many people by launching a special type of bread priced at nearly 100 USD/loaf.

Bread is a popular dish for Vietnamese people, especially Saigonese people. The average price is only 10,000 - 30,000 VND depending on the type, meeting all the criteria of delicious, nutritious, cheap, and convenient. However, spending 100 USD, equivalent to more than 2.2 million VND, for a loaf of bread is not something everyone can easily agree on, and very few bakeries dare to "risk" selling such a dish. However, this super expensive bread has just appeared in Ho Chi Minh City.

Located in a small corner, hidden behind the market on Ton That Dam street, a restaurant has just introduced a type of bread that costs up to 100 USD/loaf. It immediately became one of the most expensive breads in the world (according to the Best ever food review show channel on Youtube).

Explaining the high price, the restaurant manager said that the bread is cheap but the filling is not cheap at all. The filling of the $100 sandwich is a combination of foie gras and grilled pork ribs.

To enjoy this type of bread, customers have to spend more than 2.2 million VND.

For each sandwich, the restaurant uses 4 pieces of foie gras, each piece about 40 grams. The foie gras is pan-fried until the fat is melted, then the chef will pour the fat over the whole sandwich at the end. Grilled pork ribs are the main ingredient of the sandwich. The pork ribs are kept in a vacuum bag, cooked at low temperature for 6 hours so the ribs are very tender but still retain their original flavor.

Cilantro, basil, mint, sliced ​​cucumber and shredded carrots... are placed on top to harmonize the bread. Contributing to the price of 100 USD/loaf of bread is the "appearance" of sturgeon caviar, fried sweet potatoes and free champagne depending on the number of customers.

It is known that a portion of bread is very large, enough for 2-3 people to eat. For this special bread, customers must order one day in advance, deposit 50% or pay 100 USD in advance.

“It has only been open for a month but the number of customers ordering is very steady and the feedback is very good. On average, every 2-3 days there will be a customer placing an order, mainly overseas Vietnamese and foreign tourists,” the restaurant manager revealed.
