Hidden in a corner of United Square is Banh Mi 888, a cafe that serves up authentic Vietnamese cuisine such as Glass Noodles, sandwich rolls and spring rolls.The Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls ($2.40) came in threes and were so small that they could be finished in a single bite. The complimenting vegetables came largely from the Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls, using the same cucumber, pickled vegetables and vermicelli.

The Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls ($2.40) came in threes and were so small that they could be finished in a single bite. The complimenting vegetables came largely from the Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls, using the same cucumber, pickled vegetables and vermicelli. Unlike the Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls however, they felt very similar to Chinese spring rolls in taste except meatier and having a flakier skin.
Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls comes two rolls per plate ($6.80 with drink combo). The spring rolls here contain pork, prawns and vegetables with vermicelli. The dish is served cold, and was light tasting with just a hint of flavour coming from the pork with a bit of lemongrass. A sauce is also provided to bring up its taste, which is similar to the sweet sauce that we get for Yong Tau Foo.
Hot Coffee with Milk which came as a combo with the Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls was pretty decent, with just the right proportion of milk added, though there was nothing much to shout about.For more photos and the full review, please visit: http://jiaksimipng.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/banh-mi-888-united-square/
