Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant

Chay, Yinghui, Jeremy and I went for a rather larynx-damaging session at Teo Heng. Jeremy is a rapping superstar (he rapped to the entire Where Is The Love with such gusto HAHA) and we are all Crayon Pop's biggest fans (BAR BAR BAR!!). 

After that very draining workout, we had a really excellent dinner at Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant. We walked all the way from Katong Shopping Centre, so we were all pretty starved. To our dismay, there was a long, snaking queue from the fully-packed restaurant. Initially we were a bit annoyed and we were searching for alternatives on our smartphones, but in the end we decided to just persist and join the queue. Best decision EVER because Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant definitely serves one of the better (if not one of the best!) Vietnamese food in Singapore. 

Even though the queue was alarmingly long, it moved quite quickly so after 20-25 minutes, we made it into the restaurant!




The four of us ordered a different main course each and had the spring rolls and morning glory as our sides. 

Yinghui had the Pork Chop Rice and the pork chop was flavourful and tender. She said she was really full after the meal, which means a lot because it's not easy to get Yinghui full. :D 


Jeremy had the Chicken Rice (for the lack of better words - I completely have no idea what this dish is called) and even though it was bathing in oil, the chicken that I tasted was really yummy!


Chay's Chicken Slices & Bamboo Shoot Vermicelli. This will be a great dish for those who love bamboo shoots. I tasted the soup and since I'm not a fan of bamboo shoots, it's just alright for me. 


I ordered the standard Raw Beef Slices Pho and IT WAS HEAVENLY. The soup stock is sweeter than the usual ones that I had and with the addition of lime juice, it was the best pho that I've every eaten. So so good!


We also had the Fried Spring Roll. We wanted the normal Vietnamese Spring Roll, but we had a little bit of miscommunication with the staff so we got this instead. It's still really delicious though, so all's good. 


I will recommend Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant to everyone I know. Just go! Please!! SO SO GOOD.
