A small, humble, family-run restaurant. A relatively new vietnamese restaurant that is less flashy and ra-ra-ra than other vietnamese restaurants in the area.Everything was very reasonably priced, and the service was very personal and attentive even though there was only one server working.We had:Tomato, crab and shrimp mung noodles: Very tasty, strong, fresh tasting broth, with very nicely textured noodles. The noodles come with crab and shrimp "dumpling balls" (sorry, I don't know the proper name for it). Beef pho: A standard order whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants. This broth definitely had little to no-msg in it. Rather it was flavoured nicely with a prominent star anise scent. Lots of beef. A simple dish executed well. Steamed vietnamese parcels: Another dish often found in Vietnamese restaurants. Very generous portions, freshly made.We also had tamarind juice - a nice thirst quencher in the sweltering heat, and a lime soda - lime flavour was very good and not overpowering. …Read More

A cute, friendly neighbourhood dessert shop! I live in the neighbourhood and come here regularly. Whenever we have dinner in the area, we will always drop by for dessert after.We always make sure to bring overseas guests here as well. It's nice to have a place that has healthy, seasonal, fruit-based desserts (my personal favourite). Desserts are never too sweet, and very reasonably priced (given the amount of fresh fruit and generous portions). The service is always excellent, and the chef and owner is very friendly and always willing to come out and chat with customers. My personal favourites are the mango cheung-fun (cheung fun is coconut based), the grass jelly noodles, and the home-made, freshly ground almond milk dessert (a rarity these days!!). The winter hot-drinks are also good on a cold day, as is the steamed coconut dessert.…Read More
