We stumbled on this and were very pleased with the service and food. We had excellent summer rolls and a Vietnamese pancake which was delicous, followed by a beef dish and soup. All clean and the waiter – Dong was such a nice guy. We would go again.

I keep meaning to try other places on Kingsland Rd but then somehow always end up back at Song Que…

You are probably right…it was probably steamed in the banana leaf.
Whatever they did, it sure was delicious. Shame my photo is so blurry!

Shame that this was such a mediocre meal. I won’t bother going here then! I thought the rice was cooked in the banana leaf rather than being fried first? Or am I thinking of a different dish?

Damn I was hoping to read this and find that you had discovered a previously overlooked and hidden gem on Kingsland road. Looks like it is back to Cay Tre and Viet Grill…

That prawn dish looks a over-cornstarched gloppy, no?

On a dork note: if the resto has a license to sell alcohol, then I’d guess it’s just a business decision whether to allow people to bring their own (i.e., — which usually means a nice, big markup — so if they want to allow you bring your own, then it’s their financial loss but not against the law).

The illegality happens the other way around, where the place lacks a license but still sells alcohol.
