Came back here to Vintams Bakery today with my old work team for a Pho lunch. It’s a place I had visited before but never for pho. That was clearly my mistake because this was some of the best old school rare beef pho I have had. This was all down to the broth which was absolutely standout. Plenty of beef and noodles and all the usual suspects made this one tasty dish. I can see why so many from my old work team raves about this and look forward to many more tasty lunches.

Called past Vintam bakery today for a light lunch... well that was the intention at least. I started off nicely with a BBQ pork bun which was relatively healthy but I weakened at the sight of the chocolate iced doughnuts. While I did like the pork bun and it was flavoursome and was clearly craving the sweeter spectrum and loved the doughnut muchly. The staff were friendly and the cafe also did a range of hot food... all of which could be ordered by picture.
You know when you walk into somewhere new and get a bit confused and overwhelmed with choice and end up picking something you never intended? Well that’s how I ended up here in a cafe famed for its Vietnamese cuisine, with a bowl of chicken laksa in front of me.
But I guess it’s a sign of a great place when even the food they aren’t known for is done so well. This is a great value laksa. No vegetables, but lots of noodles, chicken and a very tasty broth with a good amount of spice. Exactly the sort of thing I needed today.
I’ve also returned and had the warm vermicelli salad with lemongrass beef. It’s delicious, but quite spicy! A good level for me but if you’re not keen on spice make sure you specify beforehand as they don’t ask if you want chilli.
Don’t come if you’re in a rush though! They are not fast.
Good small cafe for lunch. Quick service.
Banhmi ranges from $6.50-$8, well made and satisfying.
Some other bakery/pastries also available in the cabinet.
Bbq pork roll, $7, good flavours.
