This Vietnamese restaurant offers a pork-free menu, making it a Muslim-friendly dining option. I visited for a weekend brunch with Mr Hubby, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations.

The only highlight was the iced Vietnamese milk coffee, which was satisfying. While the flat rice noodles were served in generous portions, the amount of meat was disappointingly small, leaving both of us still hungry.

The crab meat was a major letdown—it wasn’t fresh and was far smaller than what was depicted on the menu picture. The fish cakes, though served in abundance, apparently it didn’t appeal to me at all.

The crab claws were small and so difficult to eat as the flesh clung stubbornly to the transparent cartilage. The soup was equally disappointing, it’s having an odd, gel-like consistency that felt more like drinking oil.

As for the pho, the beef tendon was tender but limited to just a few pieces, which added to the overall dissatisfaction. Both of the meals were served with a ‘Rau Song’ or known as herbs platter.

These herbs are for garnishing and enhance its flavours and texture, allow customization to individual tastes. Mine came with housemade lemongrass chili, which added a spicy kick and a refreshing touch to the palate.

The restaurant offers a comfortable, air-conditioned environment, and the service crews are polite. I liked the customized banh mi stall located inside the restaurant, which added a unique touch to the place.

Kthxbye.
