The Sampan Boat Quay was once the artery for Singapore’s trade and economic activities in Asia. Five decades later, it has transformed into this vibrant night spot with a string of restaurants, cafes, and pubs. When night falls and the night crowd gathers, the atmosphere along the Singapore River becomes ever more charming. And what’s truly missing is a cosy, good restaurant that serves Pan Asian cuisine, which would truly reflect Singapore’s melting pot of cultures. And there comes along, The Sampan, a three-storey restaurant and bar along Boat Quay, which gives a fresh spin on Asian cuisine. The Sampan offers a vibrant menu of Pan Asian delights, from light bites,…

Vietnamese Food @ Pho Hoa : Toi Nhu Viet Nam Nhieu Qua!
The last time I’ve been to Vietnam was a year ago and I’ve been missing the food over there ever since. I fell in love with Vietnamese cuisine when I had my first bowl of Phở (noodle soup) right along the small eateries along busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City. How could simple bowl of beef noodles taste this good? I thought. The aroma from the crushed basil leaves and rosemary and the appetizing spicy fish sauce is what wheys my appetite for more authentic Vietnamese food. I still remember that burst of flavours in my mouth when I took a bite of the fresh Vietnamese springroll,Gỏi Cuốn. This is…
