NamNam @ Raffles City

NamNam @ Raffles City (Score: 4.0 out of 5)

NamNam is a Vietnamese restaurant that serves 2 main type of food, Bahn Mi and Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup). The restaurant itself is quite petite and does feel quite tight. I highly advise visiting them quite early 11:30am for lunch and probably 6:00pm for dinner to avoid the crowd.

How crowded you ask? Lets just say that you'll probably end up waiting for 20-30 mins on a bad day. But it is worth waiting.

Our Orders


Fried Prawn Roll - S$4.90

We couldn't resist ordering an appetizer and Vietnamese fried rolls have always been a favorite. Its crispy and it has prawns, what more to say. Don't expect very fresh prawns though.


Caramelised 5-spice Pork Belly, Pork Pate Bahn Mi - S$5.90

One of the star orders in this place. I just love this. I just wished there was a bit more pork and vegetables but otherwise the taste is perfect. The pork is tender and the in-house sauce is just heavenly.


Pho Beef Combination - S$9.90


Pho Beef Balls $8.90

The only difference between the Pho is what is inside. I ordered the beef combination which had some beef balls, tripe, and beef strips. Wifey ordered pure beef balls. Taste wise, if you love pho then you will love this. You don't like pho? Well, you'll still love it :) be sure to squeeze the lemon and add some of the hot pepper to some heat.

Price and Value

NamNam's pricing is very good. Given the fact that they are located right at the heart of the city and in a very popular mall, it's quite surprising that they aren't charging more. That said, value for money is really good. 

Be sure to order a Bahn Mi and Pho on your visit. This will make the waiting time in the queue worth it.
