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. Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at deepchord confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  2. В этом обзоре мы обсудим современные методы борьбы с зависимостями, включая медикаментозную терапию и психотерапию. Мы представим последние исследования и их результаты, чтобы читатели могли быть в курсе наиболее эффективных подходов к лечению и поддержке.

  3. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at quadquesty added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.

  4. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at xacttrove confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  5. After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at puzzlepalace33 reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.

  6. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at websupreme confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  7. Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to roampoint maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.

  8. Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at blog33agency confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

  9. Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at datasteppe extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

  10. Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at softcanyon continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.

  11. Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at thrivenet did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.

  12. Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at brinkbeige confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

  13. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at compassbraid continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

  14. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at zimlora extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

  15. Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at cubeasana kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.

  16. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at four-a-pizza continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  17. Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at theaugernorth confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

  18. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at appfortune extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  19. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over crustbeige the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

  20. Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at movlino maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.

  21. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at lullneon provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.

  22. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at zaxiszoom confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  23. Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at fluiddash continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

  24. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at gocek4 confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  25. During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at narrowlake continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  26. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to truespot kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  27. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at softsupreme drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  28. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at smartdealhouse produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  29. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at lynxloom added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.

  30. Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at modcove reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.

  31. If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at compassbulb extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.

  32. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at buffbey produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  33. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at darechip reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  34. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at zornexo 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.

  35. Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at dewchase extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.

  36. Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at tactflow continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

  37. A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at webthrive extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.

  38. However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at minimmoss confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

  39. Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at devtitan continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

  40. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at drilldash continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  41. Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at blog44him confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  42. Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at rivqiro carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.

  43. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at benjaminross confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.

  44. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at devagent carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  45. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at blog44debate confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.

  46. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked narrowlake I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  47. Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at blog44chances 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.

  48. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at vehiculos reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.
