Miss Saigon Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant @ Penang e-Gate

* This restaurant is no longer in business.*

Steven called me the other day and asked me whether I am free for a food review in e-Gate. After browsing through my schedule, I am OK with the date. The restaurant that we are going for the review is Miss Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant. I tried a few of the restaurants in e-Gate but I never try this one. We have more than 10 people for the review.

Miss Saigon is going to launch a new menu, a total of 31 dishes in 5 categories: Summer Rolls, Exotic Side, Salads, Rice Noodles and Vietnamese Sandwiches. That is the purpose why most of the food bloggers are invited for the food tasting and reviewing.

The surrounding and ambiance of Miss Saigon was good. I feel comfortable to dine there. However, I was having difficulty while taking for the food photos. The lighting was the main reason, or should I say, improvement is needed for my photography skill.

The cutlery and the menu. Both chopstick and spoon are made of wood. I like them.

Glass of water. The water has a barley taste to me. It seems that I was wrong. I just got a confirmation from Criz, it was the Pandan taste!

Summer Rolls was the first category to be served. They all look alike but the filling and the sauce were different. If you are asking me which is which, I totally cannot give you a correct answer. Summer Rolls consist of 10 items: Traditional Northern Rolls (RM 6.80), Traditional Southern Rolls (RM 7.80), Farmer’s Egg Rolls (RM 6.80), Mini Prawn Paste on Sugarcane (RM 10.80), Crispy Gourmet Seafood Rolls (RM 9.80), Crisp Fried Hanoi Rolls (RM 8.80), Fresh Vegetarian Rolls (RM 5.80), Southern Fish Rolls (RM 7.80), Classic Hor Fun Beef Rolls (RM 10.80) and Classic Hor Fun Chicken Rolls (RM 9.80).

Classic Hor Fun Beef Rolls. I like the Classic Hor Fun Rolls. It’s good. The drawback is, it was too little! One plate is not enough!

Crispy Gourmet Seafood Rolls.

Crisp Fried Hanoi Rolls.

Mini Prawn Paste on Sugarcane. This is a bit special, you can make the roll yourself.

After the Summer Rolls, here comes the Exotic Side. There are 8 dishes on this category: Cinnamon Beef Chunks La-lot (RM 11.80), Grilled Chicken T-shaped Wings (RM 9.80), Wok-fried Flower Chicken (RM 14.80), Wok-fried Flower Beef (RM 14.80), Spiced Grilled Eel Cake (RM 12.80), Villagers Grilled Snail Cake (RM 12.80), Street-style Salty Soft Shell Crab (RM 13.80) and Royal Seafood Skewer (RM 10.80).

Cinnamon Beef Chunks La-lot. I don’t have the chance to taste this, not sure it is good or not.

Grilled Chicken T-shaped Wings. Never try this too. It was too normal to me.

Wok-fried Flower Chicken. Oh, I like this one. It was yummy and the flowers in this dish was very special. It is Nutty Flavored Wild Pergularia. In my opinion, it will be good to serve with rice.

Spiced Grilled Eel Cake or Villagers Grilled Snail Cake. Both are having the same taste. The only difference will be the toughness. Villagers Grilled Snail Cake is a little bit tough when you bite and chew on it. This is the very first time I tasted snail!

Street-style Salty Soft Shell Crab. It’s a bit too salty for this dish. But, the taste was not bad.

Royal Seafood Skewer. This one is just a normal grilled salmon together with mushroom and green pepper. Nothing special.

Coming up next, Salads. Total of 5 salads offered by Miss Saigon: Sour Green Mango Salad (RM 7.80), Miss Saigon Salad (RM 9.80), Gold Glass Noodle Salad (RM 6.80), Crunchy Papaya Salad (RM 7.80) and Jellyfish Salad (RM 8.80). I like the Sour Green Mango Salad. It was just simply delicious!

Rice Noodles were served next. Crunchy Eel Glass Noddle Soup (RM 13.80), Villagers Snail Noodle Soup (RM 13.80), Traditional Southern Beef BÚN (RM 14.80), Traditional Southern Chicken BÚN (RM 12.80), Traditional Vietnamese Chicken PHO (RM 12.80) and Traditional Vietnamese Beef PHO (RM 14.80).

Villagers Snail Noodle Soup.

Traditional Southern Chicken BÚN. This is exactly the dry version of Laksa. Not bad.

Traditional Southern Beef BÚN.

Finally, Vietnamese Sandwiches.

Frog Curry with Garlic Spiced Baguette (RM 10.80). I never try this. I already scared when I see the garlic.

Vietnamese Street Baguette (Chicken/Beef) (RM 9.80). I managed to try this when we re-ordered. It was just another normal sandwich.

From my point of view, some of the food was OK and some turned out to be a very normal dish. Most of the dishes come in a small portion but the price was in a higher range. Your bill can be easily hit over RM 50 for just ordering few dishes.

It was a very good experience for me to have the chance to go for the food reviewing. Thanks to the boss from Miss Saigon and Steven who invited me.

  1. Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to blog66focuss I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

  2. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at appdell produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  3. Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at quantaquill pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.

  4. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at daringblogger extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  5. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at vpnreview kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

  6. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at opalcloud kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  7. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at rapidcarthub maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  8. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at blog33babys extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  9. Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at webcreek kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.

  10. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at qualitytrendstation reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  11. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at nitroengine only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  12. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at blog66authors extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  13. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at supersignal extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

  14. Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at urbanmixo only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.

  15. The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at joltdash added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  16. Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at amplebey confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.

  17. However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at thriveperk added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.

  18. Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at cabinbrick added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.

  19. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at lakepeach only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  20. Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at mjdue3 kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

  21. A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at flavorjourneyhub continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.

  22. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at webgorge continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  23. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at amberarmor maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  24. Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to blog66box kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.

  25. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at frolicfusion confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.

  26. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after ravennet I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  27. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at blog66behavior extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  28. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at webforest kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  29. Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at deltastack extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.

  30. The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at trueengine kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

  31. Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at versaspot adds more useful angles to share, the kind of content that improves conversations rather than just feeding them is what makes a resource genuinely valuable in professional contexts going forward over time and across project boundaries too.

  32. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at blog33past continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  33. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at davidblogging added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  34. Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at blog33backs expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.

  35. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at devfortune extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  36. Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at softpasture kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

  37. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at cloudpetalstore produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  38. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at valzino pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  39. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at blog33administration reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.

  40. Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at ampleclove held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  41. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at royaltrendhub continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  42. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at chordcircle continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  43. If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at macrolush extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.

  44. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at servoreach extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  45. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at ztbpm51m pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  46. Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at blog33probably confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.

  47. В этой статье рассматривается комплексный подход к избавлению от зависимости. Читатель узнает, как сочетание физического, психологического и духовного восстановления помогает достичь стойкого выздоровления.

  48. Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to softcrest I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.

  49. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at softbay reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  50. Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at riverroutey also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.
