Vietnamese food may not have as much followers as Japanese or Korean food here.  But for those who had a chance to sample good Vietnamese food, especially in Australia or Vietnam itself, you know what to look for.

Good news to Vietnamese food lovers! There’s a Vietnamese restaurant in Soho KL (Solaris Mont Kiara) that just opened recently.  The owner is a Vietnamese who just migrated over to Malaysia from Australia.  The food is cooked by his wife!  How authentic can you get now eh?

This place came highly recommended by our family doctor who claimed that he had the best beef dish there.  So, we decided to give this mystery “Beef” a try and gave it our seal of approval!

On our first trip there, we decided to try:

1.  O’Ngon Famous Beef with Crispy Potatoes (RM18-90++)
2.  Mango Green Salad (RM12-50++)

 O’Ngon Famous Beef with Crispy Potatoes

Mango Green Salad (with 4 Prawn Crackers)

The beef is tender and juicy. The restaurant claims that they use imported Australian beef (sourced from Cold Storage which is located round the corner from the restaurant).  Even the Mango Green salad which we ordered comes with strips of tender beef!  This mango salad is a must try for “kerabu” fans!

Enough on the food, where is this place?  The restaurant is called O’Ngon, on the first floor of the fairly new Solaris shopping complex.  For those who are new to Solaris or Soho KL, you may want to refer to Google Map for better idea on how to get there.  Once you get there, locate Cold Storage and go up to the first floor of the building.  O’Ngon is located towards the middle of the complex.

To sum it all, you should try this place if:

1. You’re into Vietnamese food and missed all those Vietnamese food you once had while studying in Australia.

2. You have hypertension and only allow yourself a beef meal once in a blue moon, use your ration here!

3. You want to try Vietnamese food for the first time.

4. The last time you tried Vietnamese food was in Bangsar Village and you either love or hate it there (btw, the Vietnamese food there was expensive and not that nice)

5. You just ran out of ideas of what to eat.
