If you’re in the mood for some Vietnamese food but don’t want to take the usual Pho route, try Làng Nướng Việt Nam. It’s the pioneer of Vietnamese barbeque in Singapore, which is similar to Korean barbeque but also a little different.
The marination, which uses traditional Vietnamese ingredients like fish sauce, lemongrass, and charcoal for heat, sets Vietnamese barbeque apart. Làng Nướng Việt Nam offers a wide range of barbeque dishes that are sure to be a ride for the taste buds.
Highlights:
- An extensive menu with classic and newly-created Vietnamese street food: The restaurant’s vast menu has a lot to offer, from Vietnamese classic street food like pho, soup noodles, dry noodles, and BBQ pork chop rice to the new creations that come to Vietnamese food scene recently like grill whole chicken with chili salt, salted whole chicken, sauteed squid teeth with butter, and half done shrimp with That sauce. Rare-to-find dishes like crispy pig intestine is also available.
- Authentic Saigon-style barbeque packed full of flavor: Làng Nướng Việt Nam can transport you to Saigon with its authentic atmosphere and delicious barbeque. The meat is cooked over clay pots with charcoal, giving it a distinctive smoky flavor that can’t be replicated by fancy table gas grills. You can choose from a variety of meats (beef, pork, chicken), seafood (prawns, squids, octopus, scallops, fish), vegetables, mushrooms, and more to make your own BBQ feast.
- A late-night dining spot for BBQ, seafood, and beers: Open 24/7, the restaurant is an ideal place to hang out late with friends over BBQ, hotpots, seafood, and beers.
MUST-TRIES:
- Beef set charcoal BBQ
- BBQ prawns
- Spring rolls
- Pho bo
- Scrispy pig intestine
- Beef in betel leave
- Beef stew with baguette
- Grilled quails
LOOK & FEEL: As the restaurant is headed by Vietnamese chefs, they’ve kept the atmosphere of the restaurant as close to the barbeque restaurants in Ho Chi Minh. It’s not the most decorative, which makes it all the more laid back. There are tables indoors and outdoors, but the latter may be a better seating area to enjoy a barbeque.
