I love Vietnamese food but more so their version of the dry tossed vermicelli as opposed to the more popular pho in broth .
Was wandering around Tiong Bahru Plaza and it’s one of those places you have a hard time finding something to eat - because there seems to be everything there and yet nothing if you know what I mean .
Decided to try O Banh mi because I saw that it was manned by Vietnamese and plus they don’t charge service charge and Gst 😂 .
I upsized my noodles to share between 2 and the portion was huge .
The chicken was well marinated and the popiah was crips outside , moist inside and very delicious .
To the dry vermicelli, I added -
1) a generous squeeze of lime
2) 4 tablespoons of the accompanying sweet plum look a like sauce
3) 1 tablespoon of siracha chilli
4) asked for more roasted peanuts
5) finished off with one teaspoon of Maggie seasoning
( all Chilli / seasoning was placed on the table for your use )
Toss everything together - the lettuce , cucumber , carrots , mint leaves and the vermicelli.
The result ? Heavenly .
