The Beef Ribeye and Ball Pho 🍜 ($12) from Signs a Taste of Viet Pho was a very comforting bowl, with flavourful beef broth, tender meats and decent portion. Honestly I think it's hard to get pho at such a price (no further charges) in town and this will make a good working lunch option!
Ordered their toast, orh nee teh and non spicy carbonara chee cheong fun. The chee cheong fun was smooth and nice. I didn realise carbonara sauce could go well with it. The carbonara was slightly salty but wasnt jelat. The toast was very crispy but i still prefer kaya over yam. The drink was ok.
The portion is very big so recommended to share. The pasta is chewy and has a very nice texture. It wasnt super creamy kind so you wont find it jelat and can keep eating. The home made sausage was ok, abit like minced meat.

Had dinner here and the food was superb. It's the local flavors that we're familiar with but done with a twist to really bring out each dish.
We had the Hainanese Pork Chop. It was huge and the cut they used was so juicy and tender. Definitely worth getting if you're looking for a hearty dinner!
We also got the Bao'd, Pork & Satay for sharing. Again, the pork was amazing and equally good. This dish was my favorite as it felt really well thought out. They satay sauce and pickles were balanced perfectly and compliments the pork well, without overpowering it. Highly recommend giving this a try.
Ended off with the Fried Ice Cream and Banana Cake for desserts and it was so unique! The banana cake was served warm with huge chunks of walnuts and the coconut ice cream matched it well.
Overall, the dinner was amazing and we could tell each dish was well thought out. All of the components for each dish matched perfectly and really brought out each other's flavors. It's always heartening to see local flavors being modernized well. We'll definitely be back!
went in without expectations but was blown away by the quality, wld recommend this place for gd local food and a mix of other zi char food, soup and hainanese chicken rice is a must order
Dessert at Ri Ri Cha 🍧
Got a double scoop ice cream, Tangerine Pu Er and Duck Shit Oolong Flavor. It is not literally duck shit hahaha. Quick history, in the past, the tea leaves was said to have been grown on Duck Shit soil to prevent others from stealing the tea leaves as it has nice orchid like aroma 🫖 Wanted to be adventurous to try these 2 flavours out, turns out it was a GOOD decision ❗️Slight aroma from the Duck Shit Oolong Flavour and Tangerine skin can be tasted in the ice cream, pretty unique flavours 😋 Would get this again, however would wanna try other flavours the next time I go 😬
This place is vegetarian, eggless flavours as told by the staff. Vegan options, Im not too sure. They do serve tea as well, so you can visit for either the tea or ice cream ☺️
Conveniently located 5-10 minutes walk away from Maxwell MRT (TE18) Exit 2.
Highly recommended for vegetarians and tourists craving for something cold in the hot afternoon 🤩
No wonder this obscure place in a hard-to-find mall has a Michelin bib gourmand. The chicken is juicy and well-marinated, with savoury complexity. The skin is deliciously crispy. The coconut rice is fluffy and mildly fragrant. The sambal is scrumptious. This place deserves better marketing and a higher-traffic location!

My favourite was the crab carrot cake - fun combination of our traditional carrot cake with pork lards, crab meat, and fragrant chilli oil! Also had the Hainanese pork chop and spaghetti al granchio! The spaghetti al granchio was lovely but packed a punch in spice, so be careful if you are not too good with spice!
