Nam Nam Cafe

Posted on May 3, 2014May 3, 2014 By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Nam Nam Cafe

Ever since I got back from Australia, there’s no way to get Vietnamese pho in Kuching. The one I had in Paris last year was a disaster, not only it’s not right but blardy expensive!

When my friend told me that his friend’s Vietnamese wife gave the thumb of approval on the Vietnamese coffee shop called Nam Nam Cafe situated in Jalan Song, I couldn’t wait to try it out. Finally the opportunity is here few weeks back. I went there with my parents.

Left: It’s a must to have pho! Taste? It’s not so bad. Way better than the pho-wannabe in Paris and close to what I had in Australia. I won’t eat anything else but beef pho in a Vietnamese eatery, not chicken or other, only beef! The portion is slightly bigger portion of small in Australia. I usually ordered small back then in down under. Hence, do share it with another friend if you’re small eater. This one here is pho beef balls with steak slices (RM13.90). Not expensive at all I must say, it’s about AUD9-10 for this portion in Australia.

Right: Grill pork chop rice with egg-pork patty and egg (RM9.90). This is just normal, it’s what you see and what you get. Can’t comment much. At least the meat was just nice. Rice is just your normal rice, not broken rice. The real thing should be using broken rice but doesn’t really matter anyway. The menu didn’t say it’s broken rice and you can’t get broken rice here. If they’re using broken rice, it won’t be this price. Even in Australia, not all Vietnamese restaurant has broken rice.

In conclusion, this is enough to satisfy my craving for pho.

    I have not tried this place so I am not sure if it is good. But if they just use supermarket stock and MSG like many in KL and Spore pho stores
    it will fail.
    These operators need to stay in Vietnam for a few years to learn it or get an expert from there. If they just wing it with a prayer it will not work.
    Good Luck to NAM NAM.

    ….actually most local hawkers,
    restaurants will do very well if they just cook the local food authentically with fresh good ingredient plus good services and cleanliness.
    They can charge higher but the quality must be there to support the high prices. Prices cannot
    be higher merely
    due to inflation, some real effort must be made to improve the quality of food.
    Good night !

    Gou, at least this one did taste quite close to what I had in Australia. Not too bad.

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
