Hmmm...though Vietnamese food has never really been my cup of tea, however there are no compelling reasons for me to avoid it. So...here I am, under the urge of my friend, checking this place out for the first time. Maybe a little late but better than never.

 

As many of you would have already know, you have to join the queue, place & make payment for your order before proceeding to take a seat and wait to be served.

Upon entry, I noticed on each and every table, various sauces are placed for convenient usage for those who prefer stronger flavour of their food.

If you are a fan of Pho and would like to have it at the comfort of your home, you can purchase their instant Pho at S$2.50 each. The non instant version are also available for sale.

Breakfast sets are available on weekdays (excluding public holidays) from 8am to 10am (except Suntec City & Owen Link outlets), with choice of any banh mi or any pho (excluding pho wagyu beef steak slices) at S$6.50 & S$8.50 respectively. They also serve value lunch set (for a limited time only) which includes duo of steamed tapioca cake & Hue shrimp rice cake + choice of your favourite pho at S$9.90. All their breakfast & lunch sets comes with a beverage, choose between Viet black coffee (hot or iced) / Viet coffee with condensed milk (hot or iced) / Lotus tea (hot or iced) / Bottled water.

We went for ala carte orders instead as their sides and desserts are also part of our cravings.

Pho Beef Combination (S$10)
Pho with medium rare beef steak slices, beef balls, beef shank, tendon and honeycomb tripe. All the beef are tender but the broth is a little bland in taste. Add in various sauces to make this tastier.

Greens and chilli peppers are not our favourite so our banh mi have both of these omitted.

Grilled Chicken, Egg Omelette, Chicken Floss (S$6.90)
Chicken floss and egg omelette are ingredients that goes well with bread. The grilled chicken is tasty and tender with the toasted baguette a little crispy and soft.

S-Spice Pulled Beef, Chicken Floss (S$6.90)
Have tasted quite a few pulled pork sandwiches but its the first for pulled beef. Though it states spice pulled beef but its not really spicy. In fact its delicious and taste a little like rendang.

Now its time for us to attack the sides,or what they call small plates, and dessert.

Crispy Fried Chicken Wings, Caramelised Roasted Onion-Flavoured Fish Sauce, Sesame Seeds, Pickles (S$5.50)
Covered with a layer of flour and fried till crispy, the wings are indeed finger licking good. Coated with caramelised roasted onion-flavoured fish sauce, this is definitely the highlight of this dish.

Crispy Fried Prawn & Pork Rolls (S$5.50)
Taste a little like ngor hiang just that this is wrapped with vietnamese rice paper. Fried till crispy, dipped into the sauce to enhance its flavour.

Crispy Fried Sweet Potato Rolls (S$5)
Sweet potato is one of my favourite. Though the taste is not too bad, somehow feels that the rice paper doesn't matches so well with the sweet potato.

Thirst quenching time!

Viet Coffee with Condensed Milk - Iced (S$3.50)
Not very satisfying for my dining partner who is a coffee lover.

Sugarcane (S$3)
Refreshing! Taste very different from our local sugarcane juice. This has a tinge of peppermint yet not too overpowering.

Being a dessert lover, I usually will not miss any chance on trying out new desserts. Having tried llao llao & Honey Creme, Milk & Honey has become the next on my list.

We have postponed this trip many times due to our busy schedules which we eventually had to purchase coupons to make it happen.

 

The shop is not occupying a very big space but it's enough to accommodate their flow of customers.

 

Cute cushion not only makes the seats more comfortable but also liven up the whole place.

The deal for our coupons is to choose any 2 of their signature yoghurt parfaits for the price of 1. So we get to choose 4 for our 2 coupons.
Quite a number of varieties

Quite a number of varieties

 

Quite a number of varieties to choose from and we decided on the 3 recommended parfaits plus our common favourite flavour.

 

 

Healthy Mix (S$7.80)
Yoghurt with fresh blueberries, strawberries & mango, topped with green tea meringue & white chocolate ring drizzled with raspberry sauce.

Yoghurt goes well with the fresh fruits. The raspberry sauce taste a little artificial though. White chocolate ring & green tea meringue are not too sweet whereas the yoghurt is a little sour in taste.

Chocolate Divine (S$9.80)
Paired with white chocolate crumble, brownie & dark chocolate ganache, drizzled with chocolate sauce and final touching up with chocolate twister & macaroon.

Definitely for chocolate lovers. Brownie & dark chocolate ganache is soft and rich in flavour. Macaroon is not too sweet too. 
For chocolate lovers

Royal Honey (S$8.80)
Honey crystal jello & crunchy crumble are hidden in between the yoghurt with honey popcorn at the side. Decorated with orange chip & white chocolate stick with honey parfait right at the top.

The best of the four.

The crunchy crumble gives this a more textured feel. Honey crystal jello & honey popcorn are a little on the sweet side and the texture of the honey parfait taste just like a marshmallow.
Best of the four

Matcha (S$9.80)
Right at the bottom lies Azuki red beans and green tea crumble just above with green tea meringue at the sides. Sprinkled with chocolate pearls and decorated with white chocolate stick & green tea parfait.

Green tea meringue is crunchy but the Azuki red beans doesn't taste as good. Marshmallow-like green tea parfait is not too sweet. Overall, this doesn't have a very strong green tea taste.
Not so strong green tea taste

One of the main attraction of Milk & Honey would be the artisanal yoghurt they served. With so many foodies out there, their yoghurts are indeed pretty enough for the camera.

I have frequented this place numerous times and thought that this is their only branch. Only came to realise not so long after that they do have other outlets too.

Simple decorated with authentic Japanese setting, this place makes you feel very at ease. It's no surprise why many Japanese visits this place.

It has also been quite awhile since our last visit. So we proceeded to order what we felt like having today.

Dashimaki Tamago (S$8)
This bbq egg roll is served cold and it's soft and sweet. Japanese tamago has always been my favourite dish.

Shishamo Yaki (S$8)
My dining partner's favourite dish. This bbq pregnant fish was served hot and has no fishy taste even without adding lemon juice.

Nabeyaki Udon (S$14)
This soup based udon is served in a claypot. A small bowl was provided as it's too hot to eat directly from the claypot. The egg is still runny and the sweet soup enhances the flavour of this whole dish.

Buta Naganeki Itame (S$11) with Rice
Pan fried Japan long onion with pork belly. The taste is not bad, feels like the chinese style fried pork. The rice however doesn't taste as good as it used to, a little too moist.

Soup Stock Tokyo OK Apr 09, 2015

Categories : Japanese | Chinese Soup


Whenever I crave for soup, the first place that came to my mind will be The Soup Spoon. So I was glad when I saw Soup Stock Tokyo, giving me another option for my soup craving days.

Have been eyeing this since then, finally having it for lunch today.

There are so many varieties available making me having the impulse to try all the items in the menu. Dong~dong, awaken by reality, my stomach definitely do not have enough capacity to store all the items at one go.

What surprises me is that Butter Chicken Curry rice and Dried Scallop porridge are also items in the menu.

Decision made, ordered the Half and Half set so I can savour two different types of soup.
Choice of rice or bread

Choice of rice or bread

 

You can choose Japanese rice or Ciabatta bread to go with your soup set. In addition, add S$1 to get a beverage choosing from tea (hot/iced), fruit juice or bottled water. What's more, add S$4 for a S size soup to complete the curry & rice meal.

Half and Half Set + Rice or Bread (S$11.80)
My choice today are Chicken Soup with 8-Vegetable, Hokkaido Crab Bisque and opted for Ciabatta bread instead of rice.

Chicken Soup with 8-Vegetable
Clear soup with tender chicken and various vegetables that are boiled till soften. The soup is a tad too oily though.

Hokkaido Crab Bisque
Have always love crab bisque. This might not be the best that I have tried but the thick and creamy texture sure makes you dipping the bread in.

Ciabatta Bread
Wow! Didn't expect the bread to be in such a big portion. Crispy outside with soft centre, bread lovers favourite.

At the far end of the food centre (if entered from the entrance near Prudential Assurance), there isn't many seats for dining in front of the stall. Though there aren't any proper menu but coloured A4 sized illustrations of the food are pasted at the order counter.

Having the impression that their main attraction is their meat skewers, we ended up with their meat skewer rice set.

All rice set meals comes with kimchi and seaweed. Seaweed is crunchy but kimchi is a little sour. As for the meat, both the pork and chicken are rather tender and the sauce is not too overpowering. It would have been better if the rice sets are served hot.
