Cô Ba Quán

Really crispy Banh Mi which was worth the $9.90. Complemented with the beef, and chilli sauce this is the best Banh Mi which I have eaten.

Grade: A

Most Banh Mi tend to be toasted too little, but Co Ba Quan sets a new standard for Banh Mi.
The bread is toasted well, giving it a crunchy taste which complements the chilli sauce, cucumber and meat well.
A small gripe I had was the choice of meat, as processed fishcakes were used instead of actual fresh fish. At $6.90, this Banh Mi provides bang for buck with the well toasted buns, and I recommend trying it out.

Grade A- (would up to A if a different filling was used)

W sticky rice and coconut milk

Ordered this cos I wanted to see how good my favourite ration dessert could taste when made by a restaurant. Is it weird that I still like creamy corn more?

It's abit unfair to compare because this is more a sticky rice soup w corn than a corn dessert. Not bad, q comforting, right amount of sweetness and decent portion

It's light and started off ok but halfway thru there's this fishiness, like from shellfish. Couldn't force myself to keep eating, hopefully it's a one off

Not gonna lie when I saw this I tot to myself it was a mistake to order that

But my first bite taught me that my eyes aren't as trustworthy as I tot. The pork was supremely tender, considering the lean cut. The marinade was humble, not in your face, but undisputably umami. Really comforting stuff

If I had to nitpick, it would be a small pool of oil at the bottom. Otherwise, just trust the full house of Vietnamese lol

Cô Ba means Miss Three in Vietnamese, but this is one of the best among Việt restaurants in Sing. Granted, there’s no great fine dining or even home-style Việt eateries here - it’s all street food - but Cô Ba is authentic and yummy. The menu is shorter than the famous Long Phụng in Joo Chiat, but the food is better, it’s more central, and much quieter. Prices are extremely reasonable, and they don’t charge for GST and service.
