This dish is essentially fresh clams and mussels cooked in a sweet and spicy lemongrass broth that is deeply aromatic and well flavoured. The clams are fresh and succulent, making slurping them out of their shells a breeze.

If you think the French influence on culinary traditions in Vietnam stops at banh mi, here’s a fusion dish to keep on your radar.

Bánh xèo ($11.50), which literally translates into “sizzling cake,” is a crêpe made from rice flour colored with turmeric and packed with a filling of mung bean paste, shrimp, bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms and sliced pork. The locals would wrap up these slices in an array of herbs into a mini spring roll, then dipping them into nuoc cham, sweetened fish sauce with chile. A dish you would have to prepare to get your hands dirty!
.
With its relatively affordable price points, robust and deeply scented flavours, these are dishes that respectfully reminisce the food on the streets of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. If you're ready to explore beyond the basic Vietnamese dishes like pho and spring rolls, this place will impress you no less. Way to go, Mộc Quán!

The bbq pork has the true taste of street side hawkers, blatant grilling and coated with strongly flavoured sauce. Especially loved the rice noodles, simple and light, giving a really refreshing balance to the grilled meat.

A warm French baguette encases fresh vegetables and grilled chicken, crisp crunch amidst a fluffy interior, like those found in Vietnam. Baguettes here are baked in house daily, so the freshness is impeccable. Bánh Mì Gà Nướng, or baguette with roasted chicken goes at $7.50, somewhat the price of a premium subway but bursting with so many cultural flavours. All Bánh Mì here is served with cucumber, parsley, butter, pickled vegetables and Vietnamese chilli.

To us, Vietnamese food is not just about spring rolls or Pho. Mộc Quán is truly a refreshing find and lovers of the cuisine will surely appreciate.

Get a taste of Bún riêu with this large bowl of Bún bò Huế ($14.90). It came with so many goodies, a large serving of herbs submerged in the hot spicy broth. The soup starts with pork and beef bones, gets a kick from lemongrass, fish sauce and shrimp paste, and finishes the job with a tangle of herbs, onions and chile, a squeeze of lime and a few delicious add-ons like tender sliced brisket and pork pâté, and, in just about every iteration, mind-blowingly good—nothing beats a correctly prepared bowl of Bún bò Huế.

We had their stewed pork with river crab in tomato pho, springy pho doused in pretty fragrant broth and the crab was sweet and fresh! Their banh mi was, however, lacking compared to the authentic street side variants in Vietnam, and we can only wish it tasted better.

Pop by pho some good broth! 😉🍜
