About this place
One of the pleasures of pho is being able to adjust it to your taste with herbs and chilli. A diner who tried the chicken pho at Butterfly Cà Phê particularly enjoyed the combination of chicken and coriander, and felt the spices brought out the noodles and broth. They also described adding just one small piece of chilli. Another visitor noted that the pho is available with beef or chicken, and praised the soft texture of the flat noodles as well as the option to change the flavour with pepper, coriander and chilli toppings.
For another noodle dish, consider the Singapore rice vermicelli. It comes with prawns, pork, green pepper and capsicum; one diner found that the aroma of coriander worked well with the rich flavour of the vermicelli. It makes a good choice when you want a meal with a range of toppings, rather than the cleaner simplicity of pho. Fried spring rolls are an option if you would like to add a small plate. One person recommended them alongside chè after lunch, and another visitor also ordered them. They make an easy extra to share with pho or vermicelli.
Desserts include chè with assorted beans, mango pudding and a baked banana cake. Diners have singled out different kinds of chè: one enjoyed the combination of peanuts and glutinous rice balls, while another liked the version with taro. Drinks include Vietnamese coffee, lotus tea and Oriental mint tea, as well as 333 and Larue Bia. There are options for a relaxed lunch with a sweet and tea, or for pairing beer with an evening meal.
This casual Vietnamese restaurant in Nishihara is described as suitable for solo dining. It opens in the evenings from Tuesday to Friday and during the day on Saturday. For lunch or dinner, you can build a meal around pho, adding a small plate or dessert.
