The mee siam sauce was really thick, creamy and piquant, and the bee hoon soft yet with bite. Not bad at all, from what looks like a western food stall.
Quantity at the price of $3.50 is value for money.
I was near Bukit Batok today and decided to swing by that new Vietnamese stall (279 Bukit Batok East Ave 3).
The sweet and flavourful beefy soup was the clear Hanoi-style one, boiled from beef bones and spices like cloves, cardamom, star anise and cinnamon sticks. The pho was silky smooth, and came with fatty tender marbled beef slices, shank, tendon, qq beef ball and honeycomb tripe. Nice and comforting, especially on a rainy day such as this.
Chef Minh has put in a good effort to make these bowls of Vietnamese Pho affordable in the heartlands.
With the dishes served limited to Pho and a summer roll, you definitely won’t have too hard a time deciding on which one to gobble down. That said, if you’re in the area and craving for a hearty bowl of Pho, Chef Minh Vietnamese Pho is for you.
Overall, the taste does stand out a bit and I don't mind returning for their fish soup again.
If you are not into their Signature Mee Sua, you can order their BCM with other noodles too.
Somehow this felt close to the wa kueh I had when i was young, and really had the taste of nostalgia. Firm and slightly sticky, with good rice and slight yam fragrance in the kueh. The sauce was generous, and was strong and savoury and garlicky. Really nice. Fried shallots and spring onion added fragrance.
