Introducing Singapore Cuisine to the World

Singapore has a lot of things to offer especially when it comes to teasing your taste buds. The locals and the tourists see this. This is the reason why Mr. Harry Ang decided to put up a Singapore inspired  restaurant in Vietnam. Mr. Ang is a Singaporean but he has been residing in Vietnam for thirteen years. In thirteen years, he missed Singapore so much that he put up at least ten Singapore inspired food restaurant throughout Vietnam. He always travels to Singapore to get the ingredients for his restaurants. This is to make sure that the ingredients  are fresh and truly Singapore.

His restaurants offer Singapore dishes like:
