Nhan Ai Vietnamese Cafe happens once a month and always sells out!
The Pho is good and hearty, although definitely not the best pho i’ve had in my life - but still worth an order.
However, I have a few favorite and must-orders everytime I visit the cafe:’
- The delectable Banh Mi (vietnamese baguette sandwiches) that are packed to the brim with barbecued pork, pickled carrots and daikon, and herbs. It also comes with a little dollop of the juice the barbecued pork was cooked in for you to drizzle over.
- The sesame balls filled with mung bean - unsure if it is homemade but definitely tastes so! Huge and only 18 per piece - unbelievable value.
Tips to ensure you get fed with minimal queues:
Because Nhan Ai Vietnamese Cafe only pops up once a month, it can get very crowded and sell out very quickly.
If you’re dining in: Book yourself a table closer to the opening time of the cafe if you’re looking to dine in, as things tend to sell out quickly. Link to book will be on the event page.
If you’re taking away: Make your takeaway orders ahead of time using the link they put out (published on their Facebook event page). Pre-orders close 17:00 the day before pop-up day.
Skipping the line: Takeaway orders can be picked up without needing to queue (Skip the dine-in queue and head to the takeaway door on the right, your order would be already packed and ready to pick up, with your name stapled on it).
