Pho Vietz @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya

Pho Vietz is quite popular among the food lovers since they open their outlet Empire Shopping Gallery in September 2016. Its listed as one of the restaurants which needs long queue by Open Rice in order to have a meal there. I experienced it myself, wait for almost 20 minutes to get a table. The popularity could be due to very few proper Vietnamese restaurant serving pork. Pho Vietz offers variety of Vietnamese food such as Ban Minh(baguette), spring roll, beef and pork pho, rice with curry and claypot dishes. I was there to try out their beef pho and spring roll.

Taste:6/10(Moderate. If you have visited Vietnam before, you need to lower your expectation as their pho and spring roll taste does not perform anyway near. The pho soup is rather blend and quite normal. The beef quantity provided is quite decent but some of the beef pieces is too chewy. The spring roll skin is too sticky and hard to my liking. They missed one important item on Vietnamese food which is using good chili sauce. They use normal chili sauce which does not have kick).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Ordered two beef combo noodles soup with Australian beef slices and beef balls at MYR19.90 and tiger prawn rolls at MYR9.90).


Two beef combo noodles soup.

I ordered the recommended item from their menu. However the taste does not up to my expectation.

The noodles has all the items that good pho should have. This kind of proper restaurant should have at least provide Rooster chili sauce (Sriracha chili sauce).

The skins and the sauce of the spring roll needs improvement. The skin is tough and the sauce not enough peanut.

Tang Gourmet @ Paris, France

This friendly restaurant is located just steps from Place d'Italie metro station and on the edge of Chinatown. There is a range of a dozen-plus dishes available in many sizes either you want those dishes with noodles or rice. In Asian, those dishes with rice is known as mixed rice. Tang Gourmet also have huge variety of dumplings, samosas and other tid-bits. Roast ducks, chickens and pork hang on an adjacent counter and are chopped and sliced to order.

Taste:7/10(Moderate. Their board noodles with beef taste is moderate and without the pan taste. The chinese menu here are catered for Western taste bud and some of the items which is tasty if you eat in Asia but its blend here. Overall this place is still good to go if you are craving for Asian food if you are in Paris. Their spring roll is good. And I believe their duck and roasted pork is good as well as many customers choosing that. I won't choose duck or pork as that meal is quite normal for me and I wanted to try something different).
Price:6/10(Moderate. I believe this is among the cheapest eating place around Place d'Italie. For around 6 Euro, you can get quite a decent lunch here).
