Signs A Taste of Vietnam Pho

Sliced Pork + Balls Pho ($12)

I decided to try this vietnam shop near somerest mrt since food bloggers post about this shop. But their pho soup base was quite strong taste tbh and also their ingredients was quite a lot as I order pork combination to try it out:")

Pork w Prawn (2 Rolls) ($7)

I kinda regretted how hard it was for carrot tbh but mint leaves was not that strong compared to the past when I try it another vietnam shop.

One of my go to when I visit town for hong Kong food! This bread is the kind of comfort food that I like, especially when the bread is slightly toasted.

I usually go for their hot plate meats or the yukgaejjang at Kim Dae Mun but Miss K was craving for sotong so bopian 😝😝😝

We like that their squid are thick cut so there is a nice bite to each squid ring. It is also perfectly executed as the squid was tender yet chewy. The sauce was definitely more spicy than the sauce used for their hot plate chicken and pork but paired really well with the squid.

Its a tad more expensive than their meat options but a good alternative if you are looking for something different!

脆皮菠蘿蛋撻 ($2.30)

It's my favourite from three egg tart <3 and quite flaky and also crispy texture on the tart. I didn't expected that their egg crust to be thin and also egg tart filling itself to be too much also. :") but the egg tart taste was quite strong as I thought and did reheat it on the oven.

Beancurd Tart 豆腐撻 ($2.30)

I also tried it out for cold version and cannot be reheat it on the oven. It's just suitable for consuming on cold room temp as the beancurd tart was quite strong and also their egg crust to be thick and also egg tart filling itself to be average also. :")

檀島酥皮蛋撻 ($2.30) I finally tried their signature original taste for egg tart. I didn't expected that their egg crust to be thick and also egg tart filling itself to be too little also. :") but the egg tart taste not that strong as I thought and didn't reheat it on the oven. I just tried it on cold room temp as probably I should reheat it on the oven for better taste.

Disclaimer: the above photo is not how the dish came out, the actual dish that came out was burnt on the top. Basically any white parts you see right now was black when it came to us. This image was when the staff went to remove all burnt top and returned the dish in this manner. We did not manage to capture the burnt dish before she took it back as we feedbacked immediately once the dish arrived.

We ordered the milano gratin and the top came out completely charred (black and burnt), in edible. We immediately feedbacked to the staff and requested for a new one, but the staff - claire was extremely unhappy and told us that was how the dish was supposed to be (we have ordered this many times before and it definitely is not supposed to be completely black on top.) She went to the kitchen and removed the burnt part entirely and just brought the dish back to us, instead of ensuring the dish was baked properly. As you can see jn the photo attached, this was the state she brought back in. We feedbacked that this should not be the way they do it but she insisted that she baked it again and replaced the cheese/cream on top. However, these were all done within a minute which makes it highly unlikely that she did what she said. She continued to show displease and when I decided to forget about the matter, she went into the kitchen and angrily brought out her kitchen staff to talk to us, even though we did not request for it. They then proceeded to make a scene, telling us that normally burnt areas are common (i understand small specs of burnt areas are okay but this was in huge patches) and they told us customers are supposed to remove it themselves. They also proceeded to tell us it was not their fault and that it was the oven that did the cooking not them. But aren’t oven temperatures and baking timing controlled by humans (aka them)? We decided to forget abt the matter as the conversation was not productive, with service crew claire yelling and arguing and providing unhelpful inputs, making it hard to communicate with the kitchen staff. Throughout our remaining dining experience, staff claire ensured we knew about how upset she was, yelling everywhere through the restaurant especially from the kitchen, complaining to her other kitchen and service crews. Only upon us making payment, did she feel scared that we would lodge a complain and apologise (which is too late becos of how she ruined the entire dining experience and made sure we knew she was upset).

Sent in an email to the customer service of saizeriya but did not receive any reply emails.

Would not recommend this service outlet. Highly disappointing.

I love my breads stuffed to the brim so this didn’t let me down. The coconut filling is crumbly and sweet, its really fragrant too and nicely filled. Really worth the price since its so generously stuffed!
