I waited for a long time but the man (a staff) wouldn't budge...
The interior was a bit dark but cosy...
We were both not very hungry so decided to order a few small dishes to share. I ordered a vegetable soup, thinking that it would be a clear broth but to my surprise, it was the creamy western style! It was quite good but I don't have a penchant for milky soup.

The spring rolls were good and authentic. The fresh spring roll which I had was a bit pricey for the small size (VND 10,000 or SGD 1.00 per piece). M's fried version was equally nice and cheaper (VND 4,000 or SGD 0.40 per piece).
In-house Special Fried Spring Roll (top left) and Fresh Prawn Roll (bottom left) The next two dishes were chef's recommendations, being roasted bean curd and grilled rice rolls cum pork. I didn't really like the bean curd dish as it was fried and a little salty. However, the grilled rice rolls were nice and filling. The pork slices were a little "oily" as the Vietnamese like to grill pork slices with fat layers but I guess eating them once in a while was ok.

The bill came up to SGD 11 (including drinks and a plate of boiled vegetables) which was quite reasonable. The popular dishes in restaurant seemed to be the "zi char" dishes e.g. grilled squid, fried fish and stir-fried vegetables which we didn't order. It was a pity as these dishes really looked appetizing on other tables (I kept peering around). Well, maybe next time.
P.S. Sorry about the dark pictures but the restaurant was not that well-lit.
