Good Pho Ga. Packed at lunchtime…read more Not much else to say really. ...to be honest I only went here because Temasek isn't open on Mondays.

I've come to China Town on a Friday morning because what I really want after being here one month…read moreis noodles. A hot brothy soup. As it goes, I can't really understand the menus, I'm not sure what I want and I don't know how to order! So I put it on hold and decide to patter through the neighbourhood to work up some confidence. What I eventually settle on is Pho Pasteur "The Best Noodle Soup in Town". WOW Really!? I grab a chair at table number five and pull out a menu and decide on option 1, Beef Rice Noodle breaking the vegetarian diet I've been on for the past 3 months (but somehow its okay, right?).Before my bowl comes, I am offered complementary tea which I accept. I have such lovely memories sitting down to eat Pho. Living in Chicago we had a lot of access to Vietnamese food. Large groups of us would go on a chilly day, splitting a bottle of wine, laughing and being loud. The restaurants were huge, with so many people crammed together. It is a stark contrast as I sit here alone, getting a little homesick that I'm not sharing with a friend......Until the bowl comes :) Oh hot noodle beef soup, I love you! The broth is deep and rich with a sweet and salty, perfect Umami flavor. The noodles are hand cut and I pile it high with lime, bean sprouts, and Sriracha. Thank you I say silently to Pho Pasteur, as I slurp up the piping hot goodness stopping once or twice to wipe my mouth. If you are in the area, Pho Pasteur is located at 709 George Street in Haymarket, it will cost you about $11 for a bowl and an extra $2 if you decide to split. There are a number of Vietnamese items on the menu included fried chicken, vermicelli salads, teas and tofu. Also, leave those cards at home because this is a cash only establishment. Lastly, know that this isn't fine dining. It is quick, cheap and oh so delicious!

They have never disappointed me. It's hard to find authentic tasting Asian cuisine, from any Asian…read morecountry. I've ordered the Fried rice, pork chops and rice, laksa and I always order a side of chicken wings. Whilst it's not the best I've tasted, it's up there with some of the best. Great food and most importantly, it's more authentic and real than some other places. Worth a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

There is a rule of thumb with local Asian restaurants. The quality of the food is inversely…read moreproportionate to the friendliness of the staff. When I walked into Pho Sam and I was hit with a palpable wave of indifference, I knew it was winner winner crispy skin chicken with tomato rice dinner. Which was delicious. By the way. Of course to accurately judge a Vietnamese restaurant I had to try the raw beef pho. It was very good. They must have read previous reviews because they now give you all the trimmings as standard. Well most of the trimmings. Owing to my gingerness I had to request chilli. Bill got salty fish and chicken rice (oh so nice) and a chicken laksa (ok but there's better nearby). Pho Sam is a pretty casual affair. You're there for the food not the atmosphere. Get in, eat, get out, repeat. We did go back again tonight for takeaway. We got more of the same plus Sichuan Beef. My brother reckons that wasn't very good. He's a guts and he didn't finish it. The lemon chilli chicken wings are not bad. Verdict: delicious Vietnamese but stick to the Vietnamese options on the menu.
