Vietnamese Favourites Review: Hidden Vietnamese Food Gem At Joo Chiat Run By A Vietnamese Lady

I had my first bowl of pho there, and its taste still remains etched in my mind. Hidden Vietnamese Food Gem Run By A Vietnamese Lady | Vietnamese Favourites Review Food at Vietnamese Favourites Whenever Vietnamese food is mentioned, pho would usually be the first dish that pops up in everybody’s minds.

It came with rice noodles, beef slices, and a medley of fresh vegetables. After squeezing the lime and mixing everything together, I took another sip of the broth to see if the sauces made any change to the taste.

Going to The lime, a hint of tartness, and the chilli gave each mouthful a kick, but they were not enough to mask the taste of the already flavour-packed soup. The rice noodles in the bowls of pho I had before were chewy.

The sweetness and sourness of the chilli sauce made a great addition in taste to the plain rice wrap. There was an initial nutty taste, but towards the end, I was hit with a really strong flavour of pork.

The moment it was placed in front of us, a fragrant aroma from the baguette got us eager to try it. The taste of the cow lung paste was not strong and it went well with the other components. The pork slices were thinly sliced, and they come with a thin layer of fats.

They tasted sweet, but when eaten together with the baguette and other components, it was hard to detect the pork’s taste. The level of spiciness is just right for spicy food lovers but you might want to request for less or none of the chilli paste if you’re not good with spicy food, or if you’re ordering it for kids.

With a plate consisting of at least 12 fried spring rolls, this dish offers value for money. The fried spring roll was extremely crispy, producing a good crackling as I bit into it.

The inside of the spring roll was made up of a bunch of onions and minced pork. The fried spring roll was very fragrant due to the generous amount of onions in it.

It was also not too oily, so eating more than half of the fried spring rolls served should not be a problem. The verdict On a whole, the food at Vietnamese Favourites is value-for-money considering the portions provided. As this stall is run by a Vietnamese, communicating with the stall owner in English might be a bit of a challenge.
