Saigon Food Street Review: Chicken, Beef, And Pork Pho At $2.50 Each At Bukit Panjang

Saigon Food Street - Beef, Chicken, Or Pork Pho At $2.50 Food at Saigon Food Street Before Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre & Market threw open its doors, the lady boss. Chef of Saigon Food Street was hustling at Nam Nam Noodle Bar. We kicked off things off with the star of the show: Pho with Chicken ($2.50 for small, $5 for regular) .

I didn’t search for any photos prior to our visit as I didn’t want to be disappointed by the size of the dish. Aside from chicken, they in addition have pho with beef, beef balls, wanton, or pork at the same quotation.

Pork bones are used to create the broth of the chicken pho, and the first sip was a lot sweeter than I forecast. The noodles used in all of Saigon Food Street’s pho are shipped in from Vietnam.

Even though they’ve been soaked in the soup for a while, they didn’t turn soggy or limp, and had the texture of half-cooked kueh tiao. The only difference between the $2.50 and $5 bowl is the quantity of the meat served.

But that didn’t pose much of a problem for us since the chicken in our $2.50 bowl covered a good half of the bed of noodles. These slices of chicken deserve a shout-out for being tender and slightly fatty, similar to a cut you’d get on a plate of chicken rice.

This is a dish that isn’t around all the time; its availability depends on when they bring this cut of beef in. You could drop the owners a phone call at 9794 3631 to see if they have it on the day you’re planning to go down.

The soup had a lingering sweetness and wasn’t oily, so you’ll be able to finish off the soup. That aside, the beef turned out to be creamy and superbly tender, so I guess you can’t judge a book by its cover.

The price might seem a little steep compared to the chicken pho, but you get quite a generous amount of beef in this one! The pork patty looked like it had just the perfect amount of breading, but turned out to be rather tough in texture.

Their Banh Xeo ($5) was the first of this Vietnamese dish that I’d ever tasted, so I had no idea how to approach this at all. Ambience at Saigon Food Street Saigon Food Street is housed in Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre, and the nearest LRT Station is Pending Station.

The hawker centre is ventilated well so we didn’t leave smelling like food, and it has ample seats for the crowds.
