Being a lover of Vietnamese rolls, we also got the Phan An (S$25) which came with a choice of any three varieties of rolls (which comes with two pieces of rolls each) and dedicated sauces. We chose Goi Cuon (braised pork), Dau Hu Cuon (fried tofu), and Bi Cuon (pork belly). All rolls were great, but the fried tofu one included some kind of fermented (?) tofu that we were not a fan of. The regular fried tofu was great though!

We also got the Banh Xeo (S$19), a savoury Vietnamese pancake loaded with mushrooms, tiger prawns, braised pork, spring onions, beansprouts, herbs, and lettuce. It is something like a crispy crepe. When we first had our first bite, my boyfriend looked at each other in confusion. But the more we ate, the more this pancake grew on us! The crispiness of the crepe and the sweet crunch of the vegetables worked so well together.

We also ordered the Rao Xao (S$16) - wok-fried seasonal greens with mushrooms, cabbage, garlic, and soy sauce. My boyfriend's parents really didn't like it, but I thought it was great. The vegetables were a little oily but savoury, and the mushrooms were sauteed to perfection.

To end the night on a sweet note, we ordered a dessert called the Che Chuoi (S$14) which had battered bananas, black glutinous rice, and coconut sago cream topped with vanilla ice cream. Absolutely loved the fried bananas and the black glutinous rice which was sweet and nutty.

In all honesty, the food here was not bad. Most of the portions were decent aside from the pho, and the food was authentic. I also liked how we got to try many unique dishes instead of the regular pho or banh mi. If you find yourself in the Dempsey area and all the restaurants are fully booked, you may want to try queuing for Red Sparrow instead!

That's all for today's post, see you next post.
