Co Chung Singapore - Authentic taste of Vietnam

ABBEY : I lost to Wilma with our Showdown of Generals (mobile version of Game of the Generals) and the wager is that the winner will pick where to have dinner and the loser will pay. Wilma confessed that she really want to have a Vietnamese meal for a long time. So off we go to Co Chung (Plaza Singapura). We had a serving of spring rolls, grilled pork sandwich, and crab paste and pork vermicelli soup. 

The spring rolls are good specially when you dip it in the sweet-salty sauce. We even requested for another round of dip. Our sandwich taste great; the char of the grilled pork and the crunchiness of the vegetables. And the soup will give you the taste of Vietnam. You know it is Viet noodles if it has lime, fresh coriander, julienned carrots and fish sauce. 

I can say that I lost the battle even before it started. Haha.

WILL: Abbey was defeated in our Best of Three for Game of The Generals. The bet? He treats me at Co Chung - Plaza Singapura. I am craving for Vietnamese food for weeks and having BanhMi and Pho at that time gave me a relief. 

Co Chung is not ordinary. The crab and prawn flavour dominated their Crab Paste and Pork Vermicelli Soup! Oh so yummy! Grilled Pork Sandwich fillings are just the same as others but their buns are extra softer. 

Not regretting that we tried this Co Chung at Plaza Singapura. Definitely recommendable! Go and satisfy your Vietnamese food cravings.

Pho Ga (Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup) Easy Recipe

ABBEY: Wilma loves noodles and this Pho Ga is long overdue. Here it is:

Ingredients:

Whole medium chicken / thigh part, wings, breast

3 pcs star anise

7 pcs cloves

3 tbsp coriander seeds

Ginger

Medium Onion

Fish sauce

Pho noodles / rice noodles (pre cooked)

Mint

Basil

Bird eye chili

Lime

Chicken broth

Roast the star anise, cloves, and coriander seeds for a couple of minutes until fragrant and put in a pot.

Slice the ginger crosswise as well as the onion and grill in open flame and place in the pot.

Clean the chicken/chicken parts and put in the pot. Fill it with water until all is submerged.

Bring it to a boil and lower the heat. Let the flavour come out of the chicken for 1 hour. Make sure to add water as necessary.

Let it cool and remove the chicken then shred the meat.

Once the chicken is removed, bring the stock to a boil again. Put fish sauce as to your preference.

You can also put chili or put it later in the bowl.

Have a serving of noodles in the broth and let simmer for a couple of minutes. Strain it and place in a bowl.

Scoop broth into the bowl. Put shredded chicken.

Garnish with mint and basil along with chili, black pepper or more fish sauce. Squeeze a slice of lime.

Welcome to Vietnam! Enjoy.

Pho Ga (Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup)  Easy 

VERDICT
WILL: This is the Vietnamese' soup that I kept on pushing Abbey to try to cook for a year. And after those begging (haha) he finally done it! 

How was Pho Ga? Gosh! It tasted like that we bought it at one of Vietnamese stall. The minty and herbally soup fantastically complemented the chicken stock. 

My conclusion is that we can open up a food store. Haha! Go Abbey!
