So Pho, Singapore

.

Lately, I’ve been kinda cutting my budget on food because of the upcoming Japan trip (and its associated expenses). So whenever I hang out with my friend (or even boyfriend), we tried to choose something costs less than SGD 20. Good thing is my friend just came back from her Taiwan trip and hence, she does not mind having meal which does not cost a bomb. However, she wanted to go for grocery at Fairprice so we had to choose somewhere which has Fairprice and near her house in the west. Thankfully, I noticed that Clementi Mall has So Pho, a Vietnamese restaurant which sells a rather reasonably priced Vietnamese food like pho (Vietnamese noodle) and rice. 

 

I prefer dry pho to the soup version I’m not sure why. Probably it’s because the sauce (which is on the sweet rather than spicy side) goes better with the spring rolls, the chicken and the noodle when they are dry. But then again, this is probably just tastebud preference which differ from one person to another. I don’t know. So Pho’s rendition of noodle with lemongrass chicken and spring rolls taste pretty good and look at how much veggies they throw on this bowl of noodle. The noodle is pretty a lot for me and I kinda regretted eating too much of it because I ended up a bit too full for my liking. Hahaha. 

 

Oh right, this is actually the first photo of Piggy Brown which I asked my friend to help me buy from Line Friends store in Taiwan. Actually the fake version is way way way cheaper (and you can find them in Bugis Junction) but the real one is of course, better done and cuteeerrr. With the price I’m paying for this bag charm/ my meal companion, I do expect a very good quality made Piggy Brown of course. The real version costs me around SGD 20 omg. I’m so tempted to buy fake Foxy Brown at SGD 6 but I suppose maybe next time. XD

 

Right, back to the noodle (I’m so easily distracted, really). Price-wise it’s pretty wallet-friendly because it’s less than SGD 20 even after tax and service charge. So yeah, I’m quite happy with this meal. I should probably eat more at hawker centre on weekdays for this wallet-dieting regime that I’m currently living with. Unti next time!
