Heard about this new Vietnamese restaurant along MacPherson Road and decided to give it a try. The decor is very Spartan, just a few knocks and knacks to remind you this is a Vietnamese restaurant.

But the food is authentic. We ordered Com Tam or Broken Rice with Egg Omelette and grilled pork, Banh Xeo and Banh Cuon. And yes, it’s real broken rice used in the Com Tam but it tasted normal. Nothing to scream about but just normal.

The real surprise was the Banh Xeo. It had crispy edges around the pancake and the fillings were bean sprouts, prawns and pork. Add the pickles they provide, dip it into the sauce and the taste is out of the world.

The Banh Cuon reminds me of breakfast along the road side in Ho Chi Minh City. Very legit.

Be warned that food takes a while to be served, even though we were the first customers for the evening. Owner was very polite and apologised saying we order Banh Xeo and Banh Cuon which are freshly made when ordered.

We used Burpple One for One and got a $9 saving. So yes, I will be coming back to try their other authentic Vietnamese dishes although not everything is available for Burpple Rewards.
