This is a tiny family shop specializing in Vietnamese soup vermicelli, located in Campo district in Macau. It took us a while to find the shop, and as its name implies the shop is meant for takeaway, with only very few seating along a narrow bar overlooking the cooking area with just three electric stoves.We ordered the signature Fish Soup Vermicelli and Shrimp Soup Vermicelli, seeing how it got prepared along the way.

We ordered the signature Fish Soup Vermicelli and Shrimp Soup Vermicelli, seeing how it got prepared along the way. As it should be, the soups are different, with the fish stock very fresh and tasty, and having a good mix of fried fish cake, squid, Vietnamese salami (Gio Lua), shrimp, and eggplant on top, paired with the vermicelli, thinly shredded vegetable and bean sprout on the bottom. Sprinkled with spring onion and a few basil leaves, after adding some lime juice and chili the soup was so tasty I nearly finished the whole bowl. You can also taste the attention and dedication in preparing this soup. Frankly one of the best Vietnamese soup vermicelli I had for a long while.
Ivy had the Shrimp Soup Vermicelli which got different ingredients. with a piece of pork, Gio Lua, dried bean curds, tomatoes on top, plus some different vermicelli (which is thinner than mine) and the same shredded vegetable and bean sprout on the bottom. I have tasted the soup and it was again super tasty.Apart from the vermicelli, there is not much on offer but I also had the avocado ice blend. Made from fresh avocado, it is an interesting drink with a good avocado taste and aroma, right amount of sweetness and ice to make it 'slurp-like' and unique.
Ivy also ordered an iced lemon tea, and the total bill was $141. Considering the place of course there is not much to comment, but the food are really superb and I am particularly impressed with the heart of the owner in bringing the true Vietnamese flavors to this small city. A place I strongly recommend for those who want to have authentic delicacy.
My overall rating is 63/100.
