\nLittle Vietnam is one of the places that I can’t understand why it is so popular. Huccalily has been here many, many times, and even brought me here twice. The atmosphere<\/strong> is like Malaysia, very chillax. The eclectic clientele<\/strong>, strangely, consists teenagers,\u00a0angmohs<\/em> and some Geylang regulars. Sometimes I feel like a gang fight would erupt, or a prostitute would flip a table and slap a sugar daddy, or a robber would snatch my wallet off the table, but I’ve a vivid imagination. Haha.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Little
\nThe food is middling and cheap, and I guess, you can call it “authentic,” although I don’t like to use that dirty word.\u00a0Goi cuon<\/strong> (rice paper roll<\/strong>, 2 pc, $3) is\u00a0bland<\/del> healthy.\u00a0Oc nhay<\/strong> (salt water snails<\/strong> or gong gong<\/strong>, $5.50, pictured above) is peppery and a bit tough with a strange tail attached to the creature.\u00a0Goi rau muong bo<\/strong> (morning glory with beef $5.50) is just to pretend we are healthy and have some fibre. I order\u00a0Pho dac biet<\/strong> (beef combo pho $7) twice and it is ok, not fantastic but not bad too. Huccalily always orders the\u00a0Com ga xa voi \u00a0trung<\/strong> (a piece of lemongrass chicken steak over rice and egg $5.50), which she likes a lot.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

\"LIttle<\/p>\n

I think both drinks,\u00a0chendol<\/strong> (Banh lot, $2.50) and\u00a0Vietnamese chng tng<\/strong> (sam bo luong, $2.50), are substandard but Huccalily loves the chng tng, citing it has lots of leow<\/em> (ingredients). I thought it tastes earthy, not a good description for chng tng.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

The popularity of the place could be accounted because of its affordability, “authenticity” (ARGH!), and the relaxing atmosphere. You can get away with $10 per person. The food was ok\u00a0niah.\u00a0<\/em>But we would probably be back because we hipsters like to lounge around in sleazy areas, and pretend we cool. (Note how cool I am, I omitted the verb “are” between “we” and “cool.”)<\/p>\n
