I was with my wife at Toa Payoh for a health seminar a few weeks back and we dropped by Toa Payoh HDB hub for our lunch first before the seminar. I was feeling quite adventurous so I tried out the Vietnamese food from this stall. The beef horfun caught my fancy so I ordered a bowl of it. It costs me $4.50. The soup looked as if it was very light tasting but in actual fact, the soup is actually rather salty. I just ate the horfun without the soup since it is sodium overdose. The beef are sliced thinly so it is quite tender. However, there are quite a lot of tendons on the sliced beef which made it quite hard to swallow. I would say it is quite a disappointment overall due to the saltiness of the soup and the lackluster beef. Another thing to note is that the soup is rather strong in a spice which I presume is the green leaves on the bowl so the soup is not for everyone.
