If you’ve ever craved authentic Vietnamese food, then the name Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant should be familiar to you. Foodies will be excited to know that you won’t have to travel all the way to Joo Chiat for a taste of its yummy Vietnamese food anymore, as it has recently opened a second outlet in Chinatown on 29 Jan 2023!
Having been around since 2009, Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant was founded by a Vietnamese lady who migrated to Singapore in the early 2000s. Prior to its first outlet in 2009, it operated as a small stall within a coffee shop located at a junction between Joo Chiat Road and Koon Seng Road. It remains genuine in its food and service by mainly hiring Vietnamese staff.
The second outlet aims to serve the more central part of Singapore. It’s good news too, as apart from their authentic Vietnamese food, it’s also known for being packed nearly every day.
You can expect classic Vietnamese food such as Special Noodle Soup (Pho), Beef Stew Served with French Bread (Bo Kho Banh Mi, a variation of Banh Mi) and Rolled Salad with Shrimp and Pork (Gou Cuon).
However, Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurants cements itself as an authentic Vietnamese eatery with unique and unheard-of dishes such as Rice Noodle & Sour Crab Soup, Chicken & Bamboo Shoot Rice Noodle Soup, Steamed Thin Rice Pancakes and Steamed Shrimp with Coconut Juice.
Its authenticity doesn’t end with its food. It also has coffee and tea that you’d find in the streets of Hanoi. You have options such as Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese Iced Milk Coffee), Cafe Da (Vietnamese Black Coffee with Ice) and Tra Sua Da (Vietnamese Iced Milk Tea).
Note that prices for its new outlet are still to be confirmed, as they’re in the midst of updating their menu.
