Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant (Joo Chiat)

You know your food is going to be good when the Vietnamese servers start taking your orders quite angrily 😂 and true enough the food here we had was very decent and definitely above average! It was an authentic experience as well as there were Vietnamese people dining around us!

To me, the Vietnamese Spring Rolls ($10) are a must order, as the crispy outer shell is just so inviting. The ones here are quite huge, and I'm glad they were stuffed with quite abit of pork meat. Pair them with the sweet chilli sauce and you got yourself a wonderful side 😍

The Rare Beef Noodle Soup ($9.50) was really comforting and the broth flavour was quite deep! Noodles were cooked just right and beef slices were tender. This is one hearty soup to have on rainy days! The portion was big as well.

Their Beef Stew with Baguette ($10) is also a must order. The beef cubes were really tender, and it was SO flavourful. It was both sweet and savoury and it was such a good stew to just dip the bread in. Speaking of which, the baguette or banh mi was perfectly baked; crispy on the outside and fluffy within. Give me that and the stew and I will be a happy man.

Dishes mentioned above are recommended! The rest were okay. I'm definitely coming back here if I'm around in the joo chiat region!

Special Noodle Soup

Spring Rolls

If only I have a bigger appetite and will not gain weight while eating so much, I could have ordered both for myself. Nonetheless, both noodle dishes are equally delish.

I wanted to try something different and this was the wildest on the menu. The sour crab refers to the crab cake and sour crab tomato soup. There's also pork ribs, tau kwa, prawns, fishcake and vegetables. It's novel lah but the overall experience was quite average. I don't understand why the rice noodles here were so soggy!

I couldn't ask more of the flavour. If the cut of the meat was not so lean, this would've been perfect.
