Welcome to Bugis. Looking for Vietnamese places?

I love this dish! Crispy omelette with pork, prawns and bean sprouts in it. Yummy!

This is lovely bowl of beef pho. Enjoyed it with generous beef slices and small beef balls. Very cute.

This is a large platter for self-wrap Vietnamese spring roll. Cost - $28. It was ok. The strong smelling dip wasn’t pleasant for us so we dunked it into the clear dip instead.

Sweet and sourish, Co Hai Banh Mi’s Ha Noi Bun Cha ($12.50) was slurp-worthy as well (though my favourite is still at Uncle Ho's Tuckshop). The tantalising dip really whets one's appetite and thankfully was not too lip-puckering. A little pricey for the portion but at least the pork patties were pretty large and were nicely seasoned.

Their Fresh Spring Rolls ($6 / 2pcs) were on point too. The rice paper was beautifully delicate and thin - cause god knows I really dislike the overly sticky, chewy, and almost rubbery ones. The filling was pretty standard (the prawns were plump, the fresh greens crunchy, and the vermicelli noodles silky-soft) but overall a decent rendition. The dip at the side was good as well.

Not your traditional Vietnamese baguette filling, Co Hai Banh Mi’s Stir-fried Beef & Cheese Baguette ($12) was like a hearty, decadent Asian cheeseburger. Tender and succulent, the sweet-savoury seasoned beef was covered in gooey melted cheese. Super buttery, the initial bite was a tad rich but the crunchy pickles, fresh greens, chili, and coriander helped to balance the flavour. The toasted bread was also very satisfying, wonderfully crispy on the outside and fluffy-soft on the inside.

𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞 ($5.80) - Smooth and wobbly original/ pandan custard uniquely paired with fragrant Vietnamese coffee shaved ice. Especially liked the combination of aromatic pandan flan with the bittersweet coffee.

𝐏𝐡𝐨 𝐦𝐢𝐱 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐧 ($19.80) - Hearty, slurpworthy beef broth. Served with an assortment of beef - thin beef slices, beef brisket (on the tougher side), and beef balls (personal favourite).

𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐮 ($29.80) - DIY spring roll platter with delicious ingredients - fermented shrimp roll (my fav!), fried sweet rice flake meatball (interesting sweet-savory bite; chá côm), fried pig cartilage sausage, fatty boiled pork trotter, taupok (+$3) - and fresh condiments. Was our first time trying many of the fried items and enjoyed their fragrant aroma, and crispy yet soft texture.

Cost: 29.80

The premium beef meat was really juicy and broth was mellow and addictive.

The brown sauce was the unspoken star of the show, i found myself dipping eveything into it.

Grade: A

When the Stir-fried Beef & Cheese Baguette (S$10.00) was first served, my first thought was “did they forget to put the cheese?”, because all I could see was the saucy beef slices stuffed into the Bahn Mi.

But as I sank my teeth into this S$10.00 Vietnamese baguette, I was totally sold. Just by having the light and crispy baguette that was a stark contrast from its creamy yet tender beef slices already could blow my mind. Not forgetting the presence of the greens that also helped to balance the flavours a little, this on its own made an appropriate light meal.

Dining in happens upstairs, but seats fill up quite quickly especially now that safe distancing is lifted. But I would seriously recommend this to be consumed in-house for maximum satisfaction.

Our repeat visit to Mrs Pho Bussorah as their grill items are really good, in particular the Iberico Pork & the Mummy Meat Balls which are outstanding, they do the char & seasoning just the right way we like. We order the Beef Pho & Com Tam which are the commonly known dishes locally. Overall, if not for the tiny table for two which is squeezing, the overall experience is good place for a non frill eatery for quick fix of Vietnamese Street Food.
