Get Some Pho-King Good Noodles At These 8 Vietnamese Restaurants

Call us basic but we love ordering pho at any Vietnamese restaurants. It’s simple. It’s great. It’s straight-forward, no frills. You know what you’ll be expecting.

There’s no need for you travel all the way to Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi just to satisfy your pho cravings. Singapore now has plenty of Vietnamese restaurants serving real pho-king good Pho.

So pho-rage ahead my fellow makan kakis, here are 8 top places to satisfy your pho cravings.

So Pho, So Good

1. Pho4U

For all my Muslim foodies out there, you know what I’m talking about. Pho4U is one of our favourite places to have halal pho that doesn’t compromise on it’s authenticity.

The broth is light and beef slices are so tender, you can’t help but want to order another bowl.

At just $8.50, you can get the basic pho which consists of half cooked steak and well done brisket. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you can also get flank and meatballs in your pho.

Here’s a tip if you’re planning on dining here, get their Vietnamese coffee, hot or iced, it’s great.

The cafe will be completely redecorated with the Care Bears. While it doesn’t exactly resemble Care-a-lot, this will do.

As with all past iterations of character cafes, what everyone is looking forward to is the themed food, and the Care Bears don’t intend to lose out to the Sanrio characters.

For the pasta lovers, there’s the Kumoya’s Star Attraction ($18.90) which is a classic Pomodoro spaghetti with shitake mushrooms, cherry tomato confit, and parmesan cheese.

[caption id="attachment_32955" align="aligncenter" width="1772"] Kumoya’s Star Attraction ($18.90)[/caption]

If you’re looking for something more substantial, there’s the Cheer-Up Chicken Katsu ($21.90).

[caption id="attachment_32968" align="aligncenter" width="1772"] Cheer-Up Chicken Katsu ($21.90)[/caption]

Were you expecting a chicken cutlet? Because we were. But it’s actually a burger!

A juicy Japanese katsu chicken slathered generously with teriyaki sauce is sandwiched between soft burger buns, topped with a sunny-side up and cheddar cheese, served with a garden salad, crisp fries and mushroom soup.

Every past character cafe has had their own version of Kumoya’s desserts and drinks and this is no exception.

Go for the Rainbow Garden Strawberry Parfait ($18.90) – Strawberry Hokkaido soft serve is served with vanilla pudding, meringue drops, fresh fruits, chocolate sable, a rainbow candy strip and mixed berries sauce.

7. Summer Hill

Summer Hill is the newest restaurant to pop up in Sunset Way, serving up affordable French cuisine without GST and service charge.

This cosy bistro serves up simple French fare that is oh-so-simple, yet oh-so-good. Dishes on their Special board as well as sides are rotated weekly so your meal there is always different and exciting.

Must-tries include their Poulet Roti ($23 for half, $45 for whole), the Mustard & Sage Pork Collar ($25), Croque Monsieur ($17.50), and the Orange & Rosemary-Scented Olive Oil Cake With Cream ($3).

The Poulet Roti uses hormone and antibiotic-free chicken that has been marinated with herb butter before it’s roasted to perfection. The result is roast chicken that is juicy yet still retains its skin’s crispiness.

[caption id="attachment_33024" align="aligncenter" width="570"] Image Credit: Burpple User Muriel A[/caption]

If you’re not a fan of chicken, then the Mustard & Sage Pork Collar is the main dish for you. Tangy, tender, and satisfying. The mustard and sage sauce provides a contrast of flavours, cutting through the heaviness of the tender pork so that you won’t feel jelak.

[caption id="attachment_33025" align="aligncenter" width="570"] Image Credit: Burpple User Muriel A[/caption]

The Croque Monsieur is basically a levelled-up ham and cheese sandwich. Ham, Swiss cheese, bechamel sauce, and dijon mustard sandwiched between 2 thick slices of grilled sourdough bread.

Sounds like heaven to us. That’s not all, more Swiss cheese is garnished on the top of the sandwich for more cheesy goodness.

[caption id="attachment_33026" align="aligncenter" width="570"] Image Credit: Burpple User Xing Wei Chua[/caption]

If you’re a fan of French cuisine, or just appreciate comfort food, then you need to drop by Summer Hill next.

8. OH MY MANGO Dessert Bar

Hidden away in the suburbs of Jurong West, is OH MY MANGO dessert bar.

This unassuming dessert bar serves up various mango-flavoured food, and one of those is a mean Mango Shibuya Toast ($10.90).

[caption id="attachment_33029" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: OH MY MANGO Dessert Bar Facebook[/caption]

Soft and fluffy on the inside, while toasted and crispy on the outside, the shibuya toast is topped with mango ice cream, diced mango, almond flakes, drizzled generously with mango sauce, and served with a dollop of whipped cream.

This is basically a mango overload but not in a bad way. If you’re a big fan of mango, you have to try this.

OH MY MANGO dessert bar also has a rather extensive menu of mango-flavoured drinks.

[caption id="attachment_33030" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: OH MY MANGO Dessert Bar Facebook[/caption]

A hot favourite among customers is the Matcha Mango Latte ($5.90). A bottom layer of mango bits, followed by a layer of milk, topped off with a layer of matcha.

[caption id="attachment_33031" align="aligncenter" width="570"] Image Credit: Burpple User Miss Ha[/caption]

This tri-coloured creation might seem like a weird flavour combination, but the slight bitterness of matcha cuts through the sweetness and sometimes too jelak taste of the mango and milk, resulting in a rather interesting flavour.

OH MY MANGO dessert bar is constantly adding new desserts and drinks to their menu, so keep checking their Facebook page to stay up to date!

8. Pizza Maru

Can’t decide between pizza and Korean food for dinner? How about both?

Pizza Maru is the latest franchise to hit our shores, serving up Chicago-style deep dish pizzas with a Korean twist. That’s right, we’re talking about deep dish pizzas with Korean flavours.

Known for their patented pizza dough made with green tea, chlorella and 12 kinds of cereals, this hefty pizza dough is made to support a multitude of ingredients in their deep dish pizzas.

One of the pizzas to look out for is the Real BBQ Chicago ($26.80) which comes stuffed with double mozzarella cheese, cream cheese mousse, string cheese, roasted onion, tomatoes, potatoes, chicken chunks, mushrooms, BBQ sauce, honey, almonds and icing sugar.

Sounds like a weird combination but it makes sense given the Korean influence on the dish.

Another must-try is the Mango Ocean ($19.80/regular, $23.80/large) which is a seafood pizza with shrimps, squid, scallops, mushrooms, broccoli, onions, black olives, mango, pilaf sauce, mozzarella sauce, spicy buldak sauce, and sweet potato-stuffed crust.

[caption id="attachment_32813" align="aligncenter" width="567"] Image Credit: Pizzamaru Singapore Facebook[/caption]

A great side dish to order is the SPAM Tower ($12.80). Layers of chicken SPAM, bell peppers, fried kimchi, cabbage, mushrooms, onions, seaweed, and a fried egg sitting on a bed of rice and garnished with potato crisps, parmesan cheese and sriracha sauce.

If you’re a fan of Korean food, or deep dish pizza, this is a place you have to check out.

9. Mak Hong Kee HK Kitchen

Newly opened along Keong Saik Road is Mak Hong Kee HK Kitchen, serving up classic Hong Kong fare that you normally find in a high end Chinese restaurant, albeit at a more reasonable price.

A must-try is their roasted meats. Mak Hong Kee HK Kitchen serves up roast pork which is slightly fattier with a thin crisp layer of crackling that is oh-so-satisfying.

Another roast meat to look out for is the BBQ Pork with Honey sauce, better known as Char Siew. The char siew served here is tender and not as sweet.

[caption id="attachment_32815" align="aligncenter" width="570"] Image Credit: Burpple User Xing Wei Chua[/caption]

If you need your carbs, then we suggest getting the Beef Hor Fun ($10). The hor fun (rice noodles) used in the dish is narrower, and is stir fried with bell peppers and tender beef slices in a rich black bean sauce. This is a dish that you must order.

Mak Hong Kee HK Kitchen also has other selections of rice, noodle and congee dishes if you’re looking for other options.

10. SayChiizu Singapore

Singapore has seen its fair share of cheese-flavoured food. Four cheese pizzas, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese sundaes, cheesecakes, cheese cookies, and even cheese foam bubble teas.

This time round, SayChiizu, a popular Hokkaido Grilled Cheese Toast brand from Bangkok is opening its first store in Singapore at VivoCity on 15 January 2018.

The cheese is made from a secret blend of 3 different cheeses, which results in an incredibly stretchy consistency when melted.
