* 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.
If you never try the Vietnamese cuisine, you can always drop by e-Gate and visit Miss Saigon Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant at anytime from 12pm until 12am daily. E-Gate is located at Lebuh Tunku Kudin 2, 11700 Gelugor, Penang. It is just opposite the TESCO hypermarket, along the Jelutong Expressway. For any reservation, please call 04-3776083.

Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at softreap 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.
Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at amidcarve confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.
Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at moddeck kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at amidbrawn maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at qenmora reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.

Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at xelvani continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at cryptbuilt kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at balticclose continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at nagapinto continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at beigeastro pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at zenvani added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at unionunit 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.
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at drivebase 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.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at dewcarve extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at zirnora confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at devspring continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at boomclove reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.
Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count, the post says what it needs to say and stops, and a look at parcohm did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at cleatbox maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at norqavo kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at digitalboost maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at swissreplica kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at libracryptocurrency continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at brandmetric continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at clickmagnetix 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.
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at rankforge maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.
Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at rankvista continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.
Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at adpilot produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at leadlaunch added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at clickmetric kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to adflowhub maintained the same restraint, visual filler is a tell that the writing cannot stand on its own and the lack of it here suggests the team has confidence in their content quality alone.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at neonmotel produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at growthflow maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at trafficmind extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at zenvaxo sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at dewchip continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at basteclose continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at curlbyrd 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.
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at boundboard produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at qarnexo 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.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at pianoledge extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at shiftkit continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at amplebench reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at yottalink extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at airycargo 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.
