Indochine Sub Standard is Not Substandard
Big news for Halifax’s Vietnamese sub lovers. Indochine Banh Mi has apparently been hard at work with 24 Carrots Bakery—a partnership in the works long before my review in The Coast which suggested a bakery get on board with the restaurant—and they have a new baguette for their sandwiches. Though it’s not a by-the-books authentic Vietnamese baguette, it’s apparently lighter and crispier, baked in a brick oven that 24 Carrots recently installed.
Another exciting development: they’re adding pho to the menu! Within the week there should be beef and vegetarian variations of the noodle soup on the menu as a standalone item and as a part of what will surely be a pretty darn good soup and sandwich combo.
Now… about that pâté…
MB are discussing.

Hi,
An update on the of arrival of pho at Indochine. Our pho has been delayed due to the fact that I am having difficulty sourcing biodegradable soup bowls. Who knew this would be such a challenge?!
I have a couple of leads that I hope will result in getting what I need soon, but if any of your readers know of sources for biodegradable bowls, please let me know.

Thought you would want to know that we now have pate, however, there’s a twist….we’ve decided to go with a vegetarian pate. It’s very tasty!

That’s great! I can’t wait to try it. What is it made with?
Any news on the pho? Have you been able to track down bowls?

The vegetarian pate is made with brown lentils, pinto beans, red curry and fresh herbs. It has a bit of kick.
I found bowls and they are on their way. I am hoping to be serving Pho by next week. It took way too long to get the biodegradable bowls in the size I need.
