TODAY’S LUNCH: BROOKLYN BANGERS FROM NUM PANG

I was near Union Square around lunch, and I haven’t been to Num Pang in quite a while. Num Pang is a small storefront located at 21 East 12th st between University Place & 5th Ave, with a few seats at counters upstairs. They are one of the main reasons we started an Honorary Street Food category.
For new readers who may not be familiar with Num Pang, it’s the Cambodian version of banh mi. There are a few differences, but the quality of the food at Num Pang is usually so high, it appeals to lots of different people.
We’ve had just about everything on their menu, but still stop by when the need arises. We also want to see if anything new is on the menu. Today we found 2 new menu items, one for veggies and one for carnivores.
There was a spicy organic tofu with a ginger-soy-honey glaze and leeks ($7 plus tax), which sounded pretty good. But Today’s Lunch is grilled khmer sausages with Asian slaw ($7.50 plus tax), which they dub Brooklyn Bangers.
