NamNam Raffles City Pho
Vietnamese, Pho
Chiefeater Luke Soon had the pho with some spring rolls at NamNam Raffles City for lunch


Hong Jia Lao Guo hotpot in Tmn Megah is just a stone’s throw away from Megah Rise. Chiefeater Maya found this place for us, and we are grateful. Their fish head hotpot with taro is a home run for me. I’ve had similar soup bases in Sg before but this takes the cake.

Originally from Kedah, incepted in 1989- they’re using the same secret recipe in their 2 outlets at PJ and Kepong.
Theirs is a Teochew taro hotpot with grouper- a smash hit. The famous HK gourmet Hugo Leung approves apparently.

It’s nostalgic I give them that- walking in you see the paraphernalia of the 50s, 60s and 70s – the National AC with wooden grills, the classic radio and of course the china (plates and saucers Boomers and Gen Xers would instantly recognise)

Their sauces were good – all homemade. Their Thai chili and sambal piqued my interest most.
Then their ingredients. The usual hotpot staples except for a few more interesting additions such as duck and pig blood/cakes. Definitely a must try.
Their homemade shrimp and cuttlefish paste comes in nostalgic tin cans – a delightful twist.
Oh, and we had Anglia Shandy. Go to their refrigerator in the back and you will find nostalgia in bottles – from Coca Cola to Kickapoo. Some brands our younger ones wouldn’t even have heard of! They also serve traditional flavoured ice popsicles as dessert – those we oldies had@ school in the 60s and 70s

Overall a 7/10 experience.
