SO PHO (Velocity)

Very meh. Noodles were ok thi not what I expected - it’s thinner than the Vietnamese noodles I usually have at Vietnamese stores. The beef was terrible, full of tendons, with barely any meat to eat. It’s marinated with lemongrass, and it wasn’t dry, but it’s a bit sweet. Spring rolls were crisp but tasted average, lettuce and pickled veg were fine. Not coming back.

I was surprised that the soup only had noodles and garnishings of vegetables in it, and no meat or other more substantial ingredients. But then I realised that the noodle soup is very tasty, and the piping hot meatballs were substantial and just slightly crisp on the outside. Overall a delicious meal.

Tender thin slices of beef. Broth was flavourful. Other dishes we had were mango and papaya salad which came with crackers. However, some parts turned soft as they were soaked by the sauce of the salad. Portion was small. Chicken wings were OK.
Summer rolls were nice. Wonder why the skin were chewy.

So pho for lunch today. It is always a dilemma for me whether to get the chicken pho soup or the chicken bun Cha. Went with the latter today! It was quite a hilarious scene with us pilling out the veg onto a separate plate. No points guessing whose veg discard pile was higher 😆 #sopho #burpple #burpplesg #grabfoodie #tybinnovena

Chicken was tender with a decent serving. Frankly, the curry wasn't much different from that of a Thai or local curry chicken, but it was lemak and tasty. And after squeezing the lime into it (2 would be better), the creamy curry with the tangy lime added a refreshing touch. Eaten with their Vietnamese baguette, we wiped up the last drop of the curry on the pot.

I love the soup of the noodle (taste like lemongrass) & the beef are tender. Affordable & reasonable price.
