We've eaten at Long Phung at Joo Chiat once years ago. Left the place pretty impressed with what we had. This wasn't so much the case for their new setup at Chinatown (239/241 New Bridge Road). Their noodles kinda derailed everything we had expected.
Ordered a tomato smoothie out of curiosity. It was more like an ice blended drink with tomato and milk than an actual creamy textured smoothie I had been imagining.
Vietnamese iced coffee was aromatic, strong and sweet.
Disappointed with their phở đặc biệt. There was way too much broth for the rice noodles and said broth was more sweet than savoury. It took a few squeezes of lemon and fish sauce to get through this bowl. Anyways, this was what we got when I asked them to leave out the coriander. They apparently left out everything.
Mi kho tom thit also had a sweet-ish sauce which we did not see coming. It looked like a plate of savoury egg noodles.
I remember that there used to be pork belly in their gỏi xoài. This one didn't but as a mango salad, I didn't see that as a deal breaker. I liked this.
They have pretty good chả giò. I haven't paid much attention to these much until recently and I'll be ranking these ones just below those from May Pho Culture.
