Tan Hai Van Ho Chi Minh City A Violation of Trust
Chinese

Our dim sum meal at Tan Hai Van Ho Chi Minh City was overshadowed by a bill containing expensive dishes we never ordered or ate


Mee Pok
It’s been quite a while since I last stepped into Oriental Kopi Puchong. The crowd has noticeably thinned, gone are the long queues from when they first opened, but the food still holds its own in certain aspects. This time, I opted for something I hadn’t tried before: the Dry Curry Chicken Mee Pok (RM13.90).

It turned out to be a satisfying choice. The mee pok was cooked just right, with a firm, al-dente bite that made every mouthful enjoyable. The curry chicken, thankfully, retained its familiar appeal: thick, spicy, and robust, the kind that clings beautifully to the noodles and coats your palate with heat and depth. There’s a consistency in the flavour that regulars of Oriental Kopi Puchong will recognise and appreciate.

Jen’s chicken rice tasted good too. The bean sprouts were crunchy. The rice was fragrant and firm.

I enjoyed my butter kopi.

However, not everything impressed. The service isn’t quite what it used to be. I remember when they had student staff who were quick, courteous, and attentive. These days, the front-of-house team seems less engaged. What also took away from the experience was the presence of flies in the outlet, which made dining in less hygienic than expected. And the flies are such a major distraction, I don’t think I will be back there anytime soon.

French
$$$$Cocotte Ben Thanh served excellent Escargots de Bourgogne, while the French onion soup and steak were less convincing for Chiefeater VK
Wantan
$$$$Hủ Tiếu Hồng Phát Bến Thành served a wantan that reminded me of Penang, with a tasty filling but a noticeably thick dumpling skin
Japanese
$$$$Izakaya Unatoto Bến Thành is known for unagi, but it was the Nishin Kazunoko, cold soba and sour plum Sapporo that we enjoyed most
Tacos
$$$$Taco Del Sol served beef tacos with an excellent salsa, while a locally crafted stout made it a second stop for the night for Chiefeater VK
Teochew
$$$$Quán Kho Xưa Ho Chi Minh City impressed with wok hei-laden stir-fried greens and a Teochew braised platter where the intestines stole the show
Pho
$$$$Phở Sườn Bò Bến Thành served a flavourful Beef Shank Pho, but the firm, beefy meatballs and the view over busy Lý Tự Trọng were the highlights
Korean BBQ
$$$$Jeju KOREA BBQ Restaurant Mount Austin surprised us with generous refillable banchan and an excellent Iberico BBQ platter
Pizza
