[TW] Simplicity is the Best – Sushi 27 (鮨二七)

My love for Japanese food isn't really a secret anymore. It all dated back to when I was 3 or 4 year-old.

Do not tell people that you've been to Vietnam if you did not have, at least one, banh mi!

They're sliced from the side, filled with assorted meats, such as luncheon meats or grilled pork patties, pâté, and finished with Vietnamese pickles, cucumbers, coriander, and choice of chili sauce or chili.
