Truth be told, it is a rare gem to find authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Singapore.
Sure, we have the occasional hidden banh mi kiosks like Ba Buong Banh Mi or Miss Saigon, and not forgetting the Halal-certified restaurant, Eminami Halal Vietnam.Ā
That being said, have you ever had an affordable Vietnamese buffet without breaking the bank?

An La Ghien, located opposite Kallang MRT, has a buffet starting from just S$49.90++ per pax from 11amā11pm everyday.

With the exception of oysters, Australian beef and beer, this buffet boasts over three hundred dishes to choose from.
From BBQ and hotpot to fresh seafood, Vietnamese mains and unique appetisers, weāre practically spoiled for choice!

Start off your feasting with appetisers like Fresh Rice Paper Roll with Prawns, Marinated Pork and Vegetables, Fried Frog Legs and Marinated Pork Balls.
Asides that, they have Vietnamese Kimchi which comprises fermented mustard greens with a tangy and refreshing flavour ā something you canāt normally get elsewhere.
Itāll make for a great appetiser, especially with how meat-forward the rest of your meal is going to be.

Youāre in for a treat at the BBQ and hotpot section as they have beef, pickled fish, and my personal favourite, tom yum soup base to cook your ingredients in.
Of course, you can feast on the cult favourites like pork slices, marinated pork belly slices and enoki mushrooms wrapped in pork belly are all up for grabs.Ā
If youāre feeling adventurous, they even have innards like beef tripe, frog legs and chicken heart skewers.

We canāt forget about the fresh seafood which is a must in every BBQ and hotpot.
This is every seafood loverās haven as An La Ghien has prawns, cockles, whole scallops, lala, baby octopus and a whole assortment of snails ā yes, snails.

Nothing beats having carbs like rice or noodles to pair alongside your hotpot. Get the Beef Pho Noodles or Marinated Pork Belly Claypot Rice.
Switch things up with the signature Vietnamese Egg Fried Rice comprising fish sauce and mild spices, bursting with umami goodness.

Otherwise, you can never go wrong with a good olā Banh Mi stuffed with crisp roasted pork or Vietnamese egg.

If you canāt wait long enough for the seafood to cook in the hotpot (like myself), you can always order the Chilli Marinated Octopus or BBQ Prawns heavily seasoned with chilli salt.
However, if Iām being honest, Iām more interested in the massive Shells Platter comprising a plethora of shellfish like cockles with garlic, tiger clams, white clams, sea snails and so much more.

With such a huge variety to choose from at the buffet, An La Ghien is sure to satisfy all your Vietnamese cravings. However, since there isn’t a specific date for when the buffet promo will end, I would suggest you hurry down right now!
And yes, everything from the BBQ and hotpot to the pho bowls and seafood platter is only S$49.90++ so you can really feast to your heartās content.
Best yet, itās ongoing from 11amā11pm everyday ā supper anyone?
Are you in the mood for some Vietnamese grub?
