Huong Que Vietnamese Restaurant at Lebuh Melaka.

We are one of those people who fell in love with food items once we've been to the particular country and tasted their original local foods. 

It is no surprise that when we came back from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam not too long ago, we were craving so badly for their local iced coffee, pho and banh mi!

One of the usual Vietnamese Restaurant that we usually go to when we have such cravings is this. 

A good friend told us about a place that he thought was better than the one that we always go to. So, we decided to give it a try. 

We can never say no to Vietnamese food. Never. 

Now that I think about it, I am craving for it now. G.

Not a very big shop.


Cafe Sua Da (Trung Bguyen Vietnamese Coffee Milk) - RM4.70
He says: My favourite! Anywhere, anytime!
She says: Pretty okay. Not too milky, not as strong as I thought it would be. 


Pho Bo (Beef Noodle) - RM10.70
He says: Just okay okay. Soup takda ohmmm!
She says: The soup is pretty sweet and lovely. The beef okay-okay amount. I think it tasted really normal and doesn't have much wow factor. 


Banh Mi Thit (Vietnamese Pork Sandwich) - RM10.70
He says: Banh mi! Could be better.. the pork is a bit too fat.
She says: I'm sorry but this one I really don't like. I love banh mi, but this one is just different. Bread is different. The roasted pork slice in there tasted fake? It's very plastic-ish and the whole piece is basically frozen fats, or at least it tasted like it la. Nope for me.


Ca Loc Kho Tieu (Snake Head Fish with Pepper) - RM15.70
He says: Like the sauce but overall doesn't suit my taste.
She says: Snake-fish hmm. Interesting. I have never had anything like this. The sauce of this dish is amazing! Too bad it's the dry kind. I cannot express how much I love the sauce. The fish has lots of tiny bones so gotta be careful with that. Overall, this one I love.

Quê Hương Tôi Vietnamese Cafe at Jalan Jelutong.

It is no longer a surprise that we both love Vietnamese food and it's all thanks to a trip to Ho Chi Minh together!

She has always been a big fan of Vietnamese food and as much as she always talks about it, we had always find it difficult to find a decent Vietnamese restaurant that serves decently good Vietnamese food.

Not till one day when she was introduced to this amazing restaurant by her sister and brother in law. They brought her there once and now, it became one of our favorite place to eat at.

It's humble shop looks small from the outside but they can actually cater up to 20 round tables that sits 4 persons if we're not mistaken. Lovely Vietnamese place!


Cafe Sua: Vietnam Milk Coffee (RM3.50)
He says: Could be the best coffee I have tasted?
She says: I'm not a coffee person because I don't like bitter coffee and it's usually the bitter coffee that people like so I am not a coffee person. This one I LOVE because it's not bitter. It's sweet kind of coffee. Funny tho because there's a bit of bitterness in it. LOVE THIS ONE.

Pho Bo: Vietnam Beef Koay Teow Soup (RM7.50)
He says: Thumbs up for this! A big fan now =)
She says: It's better than our local beef koay teow soup okay. You have to put in the raw veg (basil and other kind of leaves) into the soup and let it soak in it for a while. If you don't eat vege, then take it out after. If you eat vege, eat it together with the noodles. BEST THING EVER. The soup is the sweet type. 

Banh Mi Thit Nuong: Vietnam BBQ Pork Sandwich (RM6)
He says: A little bit dry. Could be better!
She says: THIS IS NOT BANH MI! Hah. I'm sorry but the real banh mi that you eat in Vietnam is not baguette bread okay. I feel locally it is impossible to make the same banh mi as the ones in Vietnam because of the bread. It's just different, so this one I no like. Sorry!
