A low-key Vietnamese eatery tucked behind Panda Place — dishes cooked by Vietnamese hands. No chain-restaurant formula, just generous bowls of honest flavour: crab-roe vermicelli that is sweet, tangy and awake, and a double fried-chicken-thigh rice that feeds two.
Viet Thuy Uyen sits at G/F, East Asia Garden, 36-60 Texaco Road — hidden behind Panda Place, found by word of mouth. Simple yellow-toned decor, wooden tables, the unhurried feel of a Vietnamese street eatery.
Dishes are cooked by Vietnamese hands, broths and condiments made the home-country way. As one reviewer put it: a breath of fresh air beside the chain restaurants — quiet, but authentic.
Pork roll, pig's blood curd, bean curd puffs, lettuce and herbs piled high, crowned with a slab of crab roe; a sweet-sour tomato broth brewed with nearly a whole tomato — generous and real.
"Double" is the word — two crispy fried chicken thighs beside turmeric fried rice, enough for two. Crackling skin, juicy meat, and clean dry rice to balance the fry.

NO.03 · DRINKS
鹹檸檬七喜 / 青檸梳打
Salted Lemon 7-Up / Lime Soda
好少餐廳仲有鹹檸七 — 懷舊的味道,鹹香配汽水的清涼;青檸梳打同樣清爽,最啱配偏油膩的越南菜。
Salted lemon 7-Up is a rare, nostalgic order these days — cooling, gently salty; the lime soda is its bright twin, cut for Vietnamese fried food.
