Skip the fusion spots—this Enmore room stays loyal to un-modernised Vietnamese home cooking with deeply layered broths. Regulars gravitate toward the Pho Dac Biet and Bun Bo Hue for soups that strike a rare balance between robust spice and clean clarity. The crispy bánh xèo turns heads at neighbouring tables, packed with fresh herbs and marinated silky tofu. Round it out with an order of egg noodles topped with crackling chicken skin, an earthy pennywort juice, or an egg coffee whipped like tiramisu amid vintage art on the walls.
- Traditional Broths: Pho Dac Biet and Bun Bo Hue feature deeply complex, balanced broths built on traditional recipes.
- Crispy Bánh Xèo: Vietnamese pancakes fried to a crisp edge and stuffed with fresh herbs and marinated tofu.
- Regional Sips: Specialty drinks include refreshing cold pennywort juice and whipped, tiramisu-like egg coffee.
- Local Atmosphere: Decorated with Vietnamese art pieces and memorabilia for an unhurried neighbourhood feel.
