Finally, banh mi that actually delivers on the brief. Feral began as a nomadic street cart before settling into its first brick-and-mortar in Jing’an. The baguette is just right for banh mi -- crisp crust, yielding center, built to shoulder a serious load of do chua (pickled vegetables). The roster runs from breakfast bacon-and-egg to lemongrass chicken, lemongrass beef, crispy pork, beef pastrami, and black tiger prawn. A nice touch: you control the sauce trajectory. Pick a base (mayo, chicken liver pâté, or Vietnamese sweet chili), then add a flavor (kumquat chili, lime chili, or a fruit-infused butter chili). Prices land at 26-65rmb (most sit in the 30s; the prawn is the outlier). Drinks hold up their end: Vietnamese drip coffee, pandan coconut Americano, citrus-edged sodas, Daobrew’s Fu Mo IPA, and even a salted-egg orange Americano (ranging 24-32rmb).
