Banh mi heo quey (roasted pork & pate) & Banh mi bo xao pho mai (stir fried beef & cheese) ($10 each). This little place is such a hidden gem! Tucked a couple of doors down from the more well-known Mrs Pho, Co Hai Banh Mi occupies 2 stories, with the second floor especially well decorated with flowers, vintage frames and air-conditioned seating. Words cannot describe how much we LOVED the banh mi here! Baguettes are baked fresh in house, generous amounts of filling are piled into the crispy yet fluffy baguettes. We also immensely enjoyed the Iced Vietnamese Tea ($1 each). Will be back to try the pho and bun dishes but for now, very very impressed with the Banh Mi. Highly recommend this little eatery, food is fantastic, service is good, deco/ambience (esp on the second level) is amazing.

Seafood Spring Roll ($4 for 2) was a lil taken aback by the colour at first (thought it would be burnt) but ohmy this was so good!! The spring rolls were made fresh to order, came piping hot and tasted amazing. Vegetarian option available too. Highly recommend this little eatery, food is fantastic (and affordable), service is good, deco/ambience (esp on the second level) is amazing.

Rich Broth Ramen with All Toppings ($19.90) was absolutely delicious!! Love the strong flavors of the broth, noodles were perfect and the ingredients were well balanced too! They serve both pork chashu and chicken chashu (which is really interesting btw) Definitely one of my favourite keisuke concepts. As with the other outlets, free flow hard boiled eggs and beansprouts are served here. Everything is customizable as options to include certain ingredients or remove some are available. Really really enjoyed the rich, hearty broth here.

Spicy Salmon Poke ($9.90 for choice of one poke and one base, additional $1.50 for avocado) lots of choices here!! I really liked the poke as the salmon was fresh and they were soo generous with the fish as well. Would recommend this for a quick lunch in the CBD area, take out option available too.

Honey Chicken Rice ($6) topped up to add an egg. A little in the dry side, wouldn’t really order this again.

Full Steam Ahead ($18) scrambled eggs were decently fluffy and served fresh, brioche was yummy too. Overall a pretty decent breakfast platter, but nothing extra-ordinary. The cafe has cute nautical-themed decor. 6.5/10.

Dos Amigos Roll ($14.95) interesting combination of grilled unagi, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber and tempura crunch to top it off. I quite enjoyed the combination, but it might not sit so well with those who enjoy slightly more conventional sushi ingredients.

Aloha Poke Bowl (from $13.95, depending on size) salmon and tuna were fresh, generous portions of avocado and tamago. Really enjoyed this bowl!

Crab broth ramen with rich soup and flavored egg ($15.90) Ramen Keisuke Kani King is located in Cathay Cineleisure. All dishes at this outlet use crab-flavored broth/stock. Several options for the base are available - Clear, rich or spicy. I highly recommend the rich (especially if you love the crab/seafood kind of flavor) as I find the spicy slightly overpowering and the clear not strong enough. A range of different topping options are available, and prices range from $12.90++ to $18.90++. Ramen is always well done and chashu/egg given is decent as well!

Chunky’s Original ($16) the lobster used was fresh, brioche bun was fluffy - overall a pretty decent lobster roll. Good option for a casual takeaway lunch (very limited seating available), and very affordable as far as lobster rolled go. Worth a try!

Kimchi Pancake ($18) aft Oven & Fried Chicken was crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. Really enjoyed this!

Oven & Fried Chicken mainly serves fried chicken, but this roasted chicken was touted as the “healthier option” amongst the numerous variations of fried chicken on the menu. The roasted chicken was so tender and juicy, served piping hot from the oven with chilli and mustard on the side. Price was slightly on the steeper end, and the portion pictured above is the half-chicken portion. Overall still yummy and highly recommended!
