THE VIET ROTI
The Straits Times
|January 18, 2026
It takes a bold - and slightly foolhardy - person to open a banh mi shop in Joo Chiat, once known colloquially as Singapore's Little Vietnam.
-
Several have tried over the last couple of years — most have closed.The Viet Roti has thus far survived 11/2 years on a street crowded with nearly 10 other Vietnamese restaurants, a streak founder Lynn Tay, 45, credits to her inventive menu and inclusive larder.
What she sells is not capital A authenticity, but banh mi by way of Singapore. Think flavours like kaya butter ($4.80 for a set with two soft-boiled eggs and hot coffee or tea) and mushroom with tau kwa ($7.80).
यह कहानी The Straits Times के January 18, 2026 संस्करण से ली गई है।
