Yummy Viet at 704 Geylang Road

This place is only open at night, but they do have 2 other branches that are open during the day. We were actually in the neighbourhood to eat at Com Tam Vietnam, but it was 9pm and the place was full house. Even tho we weren't at the seedy side of Geylang, this late at night, it was still pretty sketchy with a couple of bars here and there and there were also too many....um let's say questionable ladies there that made us feel a little uncomfortable to be there. So we went to Yummy Viet which was just a couple of doors down. The place is indoors with aircon and nice decor. Too bad service wasn't served with a smile.

Foodwise it was ok - passable. It's not bad per se, but the other place seemed a bit better. Maybe we should've ordered similar foods to what we had at Com Tam in order to make a fair comparison. Maybe we'd just have to come back and try again :)

Lotus Root Salad - I expected some slices of Lotus Root, I really couldn't see any....were those white stem things supposed to be lotus root? More like the stems from Lotus flower or something. Anyway it did taste good, all the veggies were pickled. My Dad liked it too. Very refreshing BUT at $5+ a plate....it was a little small in serving. 

Steamed "Gong Gong" - Caelyn's favourite. What is it in English? Sea Snails? Very clean, must've been scrubbed well!
Beef Noodle Soup - the soup was tasty, but the meat was a little tough.
BBQ Pork Rice Noodle. When it first came I was like, where's all the veges???? The meats in the dish was nice and there was this fried spring roll on the top too. It came with a small amount of sauce, and I thought it wouldn't be enough, but surprisingly it was just right.
So the veggies were hidden underneath, you only see it after you mix it....so...not really good presentation....
