What do We Like about An Viet? -Tasty and authentic Vietnamese food -The Bun Cha’s dressing was flavourful, the soup with clams had us wanting for more
Grilled Lemongrass Chicken (GÀ NƯỚNG XẢ ỚT) – RM19.90/set The were 2 big slabs of chicken meat skewed in lemongrass and put to grill. The chicken meat was nicely grilled and well marinated.
I have really enjoyed the scrumptious flavours of Vietnamese cuisine at Ăn Viet. There’s plenty of dishes that easily caters to every one of all ages. Portions are generous for the price and I would certainly return for the following dishes of Xoi Chien Phong, Banh Trang Nuong, Pho Bo, Bun Cha and Grilled Lemongrass Chicken!
The pho soup was very flavorful, with lime juice squeeze into soup, it brought more flavor out from the soup. Very appetizing and can’t stop drinking it with the rice noodle. Didn’t feel thirsty after the meal (hear say indicator whether excessive MSG was used 🙂 ). The beef slices were tender even though it were well done.
Sauteed Sliced Lamb with lemongrass, onions & crispy spring roll RM18.90 The lamb was really nicely sauteed, it was fragrant and flavourful without overpowering the natural flavour of the lamb, but still keeping the natural flavour at a minimum, so the overall olfactory experience was above satisfactory.
Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi tastes delicious. The sauce has a good kick of spicy in it and all the ingredients goes well together. However, my boyfriend commented that the chicken tastes frozen to him. Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi @ RM 12.90
Chef's recommendation is the Smoked Duck Pho ~ Flavourful rice noodles dish consists of chicken broth, fresh slurpy rice noodles, a sprinkling of chopped scallions and coriander, fresh herbs and generous slices of Smoked Duck.
Overall, I am really satisfied with my dining experience here as the foods and drinks were prepared in the most quality manner, the portion was really generous, the environment that temporary transported you to somewhere in Vietnam that you missed, the friendly and lovable staffs that will assist you and guide you especially on the proper way of tasting the authentic Vietnamese cuisine and last but not least, the reasonable prices for the memorable dining experience here at Rasa Viet.
我个人极力推荐这个包煎饼，因为我觉得它挺特别的！ 你可以选择自己包或者让厨师代劳。 它不但吃起来很酥脆，而且里面还有虾和鸡肉呢！
The Nguyen’s Pork Chop Noodles is really good. The egg noodles are beautifully topped with the fried minced pork, topped with the crispy pork lard and spring onions . Yummz !
So next time when you are craving for some tantalizing Vietnamese dishes, you know where to head to.
Lemongrass Pork (MYR 16) Generous serving of pork slices stir-fried in lemongrass, turmeric and Vietnamese fish sauce, and topped off with a sunny side-up atop a bed of warm fragrant rice. Another enjoyable fuss-free grub!
In the end, I had to order something else and went with the Crispy Spring Rolls @ RM13.90 (for 6 pcs) wrapped in minced chicken and prawns, served with a sweetish-sourish dip containing pickled vegetables of carrot and jicama. The rolls were freshly fried, came piping hot, were super crispy and had a good ratio of filling...so, no complaints on this.
Reasons to visit Super Saigon Ampang: come for the beef pho, get your caffeine kick with a strong iced coffee, and appreciate it all in a pleasant, cheery setting.
Verdict: Food prepared by Vietnamese and there was a group of Vietnamese customers in the restaurant when we was there, the authenticity of the food was unquestionably. Good portion, good flavours and reasonable priced, we certainly love to make a return to further their menu.
Overall it was a good meal, just adequate for the three of us. The next time we come here, we won't make the mistake of coming here half full, it will be on an empty stomach so that we can savour more of their authentic dishes.
Overall it was a good meal, just adequate for the three of us.
We both ordered the beef pho as that is what they are famous for. Since we are definitely going to chat for long, due to the long delayed meet up, I ordered the iced coffee. The price of the food and drink came up to RM30.
Pho is my ultimate favourite Vietnamese dish, and the version at Super Saigon is so good with its clear, flavorful broth. I went for the Medium Rare Sliced Beef & Tendon Pho (RM18.90), with an add-on of firm, juicy beef balls (RM4). I like how the beef is now served rare, so it cooks ever so slightly when you dunk it in the soup for the perfect doneness. It's wonderful that they offer unlimited beansprouts and Thai basil to go with your pho too.What a satisfying bowl of noodles!
Hubby had the Traditional Banh Mi (RM12.90), a crusty French-style baguette filled with pork liver pate, roasted pork, pork ear terrine, meatloaf, coriander and pickled vegetables. Totally satisfying.
Dried Pork Noodles at MYR 15.90++ (MYR 18.45 nett after 10% service charge and 6% SST). The noodles are those narrow translucent and springy kway teow/hor fun. There are two quail eggs and fresh prawns which I like. The large amount of herbs and garlic chives (koo chye) gave this dish a strong "green" taste but in a nutshell, I find this dish quite tasty and would only eat it if there is someone to share it with me because of its big portion.
At Super Saigon, makes your Vietnamese food indulgence more interesting with Melbourne-style pho, and a long list of delicacies that stay close to their authenticity – bun cha, spring rolls, banh mi, Vietnamese coffee, etc..
Lunch for 2 pax at Wonton Pho at Jalan Lazat 2, Happy Garden/OUG Garden. Beef Pho at MYR 15.90 nett and spring roll (Goi Cuon) at MYR 8.50 nett.
I ordered stew beef noodle (soup) at MYR 16.90 nett. The soup has a strong star anise taste which I like. There are many pieces of beef and a lot of noodles so I had difficulty finishing it.
Marinated pork belly with rice at MYR 17.90 nett. It looks like braised pork that I am used to eating but it tastes different as it does not have the star anise taste. But it still is tasty as I like the hard boiled egg in this dish.
We brought some friends to try out Pho Vietz at Sri Petaling and this time I ordered the Sour Soup Vermicelli which has 3 prawns in it and it is more spicy than sour (MYR22.90+ which is MYR25.20 nett).
Beef stew with Rice set - MYR17.90 +10% service charge (MYR19.70 nett). The portion of beef stew is enough for two average eaters. The beef stew is very tasty, very slightly spicy. This set is value for money because apart from the beef stew, it includes a bowl of rice, a bowl of appetising soup and a bowl of sweet and sour salad.
Verdict: 1. Great place to enjoy traditional street dishes such as Phở, Bánh Mì, Bánh Cuốn, Vietnamese Coffee, and Desserts, all under one roof. 2. Taste and portion wise, we have no complaints at all. But ambiance wise, it can be quite noisy sometimes. 3. Recommended: Vietnamese Prawn Salad, Famous Vietnamese Baguette
Reasons to visit Nam Restaurant Republik: a solid menu offering the classics for traditionalists and some creative recipes for the more adventurous; must try to the Nam Beef Pho with Short Ribs, Aromatic Crispy Duck Banh Xeo and the Peanut & Lemongrass Choux; free corkage Thursday nights.
Price: RM22.90++ per session per person – you get about 5-7 bundles of somen and once a pink bundle of somen slides down, that signifies the last pick.
Having settled ourselves at our table facing the pond, we were recommended the Chef’s latest signature dishes. This being the Chinese New Year period, we started off with their Thai Yee Sang with Norwegian Salmon. Quite unlike the traditional Chinese version, Samira’s rendition comprises a combination of fresh and pickled vegetables, fried crunchies, fried beancurd cubes and a slightly spicy, sweet and tangy dressing. It’s certainly very refreshing with an appetizing Thai slant to it! Besides salmon, there’s another version served with jellyfish. Yee Sang is available till 2 March 2018.
This pared down version of a bigger restaurant has really whetted our appetite for the larger one, and we’d be very happy to go back here. Simply, we didn’t have a dish we didn’t really enjoy. There are a few decent places in MyTown, but this is the best so far. Highly recommended.
We ordered two dishes - a grilled tilapia fish at MYR 28.50++ (5% service charge and 6% SST = MYR 31.63 nett)
This is what we came for - the Banh Mi Thit Heo (RM8.80) - banh mi filled with grilled pork, coriander, pickled carrots and radish, and cucumber. The baguette was great - nice and crusty on the outside and soft and airy on the inside. The bread dough is made from scratch every morning using traditional Vietnamese techniques and ingredients. They were also generous with the grilled pork, tender with a sweetish glaze. It would be more satisfying though if this banh mi also came with egg (they have an option to add on egg, so we will do that next time). Overall it was a good banh mi and I spy a lot of other variety on their menu.
The Vietnamese desserts knocked my socks off and well worth the calories! I love every one of the unique dessert as they are all served with thick, luscious coconut milk while not being overly sweet. Diet be damned!
Likewise, we found the Beef Ham Banh Mi (RM15.90) and Chicken Ham Banh Mi (RM13.90) decent enough. More of the pate spread would have ramped up the sandwiches' overall appeal.
Whether you are opting for the Chicken Ham Bánh Mì (RM13.90) or Beef Ham Bánh Mì (RM15.90), both are generously filled with slow cooked meat slices along with some pate, pickled vegetables, mayo sauce and cilantro. Solid flavours with good balance of savory and sweet with a subtle tang and heat. The sandwich is sufficiently moist with lots of textural components that the classic sandwich is famous for.
Hubby had the Fried pork noodle (RM7.50) which was pretty good. I enjoyed this more than my pho, as it was nicely seasoned and had plenty of wok hei. The noodles were like Cintan curly noodles, stir fried together with beansprouts, carrots, onion and pork fillet. I would order this again for sure!
Veitnam's Culi coffee give a certain identity to the taste of Vietnamese coffee.
Today's coffee at myViet was featuring this coffee; so Bosco recommended to "Cham" or mixed the two types of roasted coffee together!
it is very Western style of Bean mixed.
My Personal Opinion From the few things we tried, I'd say the Vietnamese offerings here are below average tasting. The pho was pretty phogettable (unless you like subtle tasting broth). The crispy fried pork rolls were the only decent thing here but they weren't unphogettable either (ok, enough with the pun already)...kikiki! ;D Don't be deceived by the photos, the dishes don't look remotely like what you see in the menu. I can absolutely guarantee we won't be coming back....and you can take that to the bank! :P
Overall, the taste is absolutely unquestionably good. However, after you are looking at the price tag, you will feel it is not worth it at all. It is double the price compare with the price they are selling at Vietnam. Vietnamese cuisine is a peasant cuisine but it has been commercialized into an overpriced cuisine. They should continue to make this cuisine affordable so it won't lose the real value of it.
