What Sir Beng would eat: Phuongs (Vietnamese in LB)

Phuong's is that place you go to if you want that hole in the wall vibe and if you don't mind waiting for your food. It has a carinderia set-up and there's only one person doing everything. If you don't want to wait for a very long time for your food, order in advance or go here during "non-peak hours". We were lucky we were the only customers there (we came at around 2pm). 

                                                       

The place's is quite small. It could fit in probably three groups of four. But it does manage to make you feel you are in Vietname partly due to the fact that its really hidden and the place looks like a house converted to a carinderia. You can even see her small kitchen from outside. Even Rex's kitchen at home is thrice its size. And she makes everything by herself. Plus points for her multi-tasking skills. I'll keep her in mind whenever I complain a lot that "running your restaurant is so hard".  Since she tends to all the orders and cooks everything herself, remember to be a bit considerate.

Here's a rundown of Rex's choices. He just broke the "three dishes per resto" rule:

 #5 Spring Rolls P80


#16: Fresh Vermicelli with Sauteed Shrimps P100

#24 Sauteed Vegetables and Taro Stems P80

#4: Chicken Noodle Soup P120

 #10 Fresh Lumpia with Pork and Shrimps P150


Here's my mom getting all giddy.

And manong's such a sport, he ate the spicy Vietnamese soup. Just don't go crazy with the spicy condiments. It is really hot! The herb that they use are fresh. Basil has its punch! You can even smell it when eating your fresh lumpia. The real deal for Vietnamese food lovers. Plus, its cheaper than Pho Hoa. :)

Here's the menu if you want to check the place out:



The place is located at a narrow street on the right of Lopez street. If you see Vhec Store go right.
Everything's made to order. You can order in advance so you don't have to wait for it. She makes everything in her small kitchen : 09297028421.
