Saigon Baguette

We were here to celebrate my godmother’s birthday and we ordered plenty of dishes to share.
I would say the dishes are hit and miss and your dining experience depends on what you order.
The grilled prawns and fried fish sauce chicken wings were the winners for the night. The grilled prawns had a smokey taste which were so good. The chicken wings were crispy and freshly fried. They stayed warm even though we touched them after a while.
The bahn mi with everything was pretty good. It would probably be better if we had tried it immediately. The baguette reminded me of those bahn mi in Ho Chi Minh City, crusty and a bit chewy.
The pancake was so-​so. Maybe I didn’t really like the taste of the crêpe. It had a bit of coconut oil taste to me. The pork belly used was too porky for my liking, it had a strong pork taste.
The summer roll was refreshing and the ingredients were sparse. Just a slice of prawn and a slice of pork belly in it. The sauce was fantastic though.
The phở was a bit disappointing. The sliced beef was supposed to be medium rare but it came well done. The broth was ok, and it was a miserable sprig of basil leaf and cooked beansprouts which came with it.
The service was good. The staff were from Vietnam and they were very accommodating and helpful. The iced Vietnamese coffee was one of the best I had in Singapore. Strong and sweet. It was brewed in-​house.
I would come back here again for the bahn mi or the sides and coffee.
