Tiens Hot Bread Shop

This little bakery in Oaks Avenue, Dee Why, has been there for many years and sells possibly the best Vietnamese Banh Mi rolls ($6.00) on the Northern Beaches, outside Saigon. There is also a selection of Cambodian rolls, rice paper rolls, steam dim sim as well as other delights. There is no seating available but it's a ten minute walk to Dee Why beachfront, but try walking there before taking a bite.

Ratings are relative so when I say 5 stars for this awesome little Vietnamese bakery it's not going to give some hatted-city degustation restaurant a run for its money. But at $5 for an utterly delicious sweet and spicy Cambodian pork roll, served up by the smiling, chatty guys that work there, 5 mins up the road from the beach where you can sit and demolish it, it deserves every point.

Went for the pork roll, but the fresh hot dim sims were a real winner. $1.50 each with soy and home made chilli sauce. Wenty back for seconds. The pork roll was ok, not a lot of filling but the fact the chilli sauce and mayonnaise was home made, made it tasty. I was told to get one of the Cantonese rolls, as these are amazing, not the standard pork roll. Next time. Rolls are $6 each.

Part of the furniture of Dee Why, Tien's is an institution of the area.I drive out of my way for the soft shell rolls - eat them on their own or make any meal better with these wrapped around the outside. Always grab a bite when there - dim sims, banh mi rolls, or pork roll.Don't be fooled by the cover of this book, it may look plain but the food and rolls / bread is great.

My Husband and I always come to Dee Why purely to get one of Tiens rolls. There are several slow cooked meats to choose from or amazing Vietnamese pork rolls! Great cheap lunch.
