This relatively newcomer to KL's dining scene makes for a strong contender for great Viet restos in the city. The clear broth, tender meat, crunchy sprouts and homegrown and fragrant basil go so well together, making this pho an enjoyable one. Love the basil garnish as it really makes all the difference! Though the portion for the basil is less than the typical generous serving in Vietnam, the owner clarified that they do so to avoid wastage (Malaysians being popular for wasting food).
The Banh Beo, though, is my personal favourite here. The steamed rice cakes are extremely delicious with all the trimmings - prawn paste, turnips and spring onions. Looks oily but this is proof that looks can be deceiving! And for RM6.50, this is one heck of a bargain.
