"Although the tomyam was a tiny bit expensive than what i usually spend it tasted ok. The chicken konloumen was on point with its good taste and pricing. Definitely worth checking out."

"Hidden behind a row of shops, this is by far one of the better Vietnamese chicken rice you can find. It's way better than Peppermint. Drinks are so so. Best of all, they don't serve iced drinks with plastic straws so you know that the owner is aware of the plastic predicament"
