[Penang] Authentic Vietnamese at Quê Hương Tôi, Jelutong (Update: now renamed Banh Mi Ut)

Change of name for this restaurant recently. It’s now called Banh Mi Ut. I made a return visit this evening to find out if there was a change of ownership/management, but was told that the owners have always been the same people. They owned both Banh Mi Ut in Church Street and Quê Hương Tôi here in Jelutong Road. They recently opened a third eatery, also called Banh Mi Ut in Queensbay Mall to the south of the island, and decided to change Quê Hương Tôi’s name to Banh Mi Ut as well, as they are introducing a frequent diner discount card which covers all 3 eateries.

Couldn’t resist having one of its baguette sandwiches there - I tried the bánh mì chả lụa (filled with two types of Vietnamese-style ham, pickled radish & carrot, and fresh coriander leaves).

Washed down with Vietnamese drip coffee - these ones are always good.
