Kafe Vietnam Express, Berjaya Times Square (16 June, 2017)
Kafe Vietnam Express is a Vietnamese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. It has an outlet on the East Wing of Berjaya Times Square. The restaurant was established by a Vietnamese lady from Ho Chi Minh City. She is married to a Malaysian, and the family decided to start this restaurant to showcase Vietnamese cuisine.
The signature item at Kafe Vietnam Express is Lau Vit Nau Chao, which is Vietnamese Duck Hot Pot. This is a duck "steamboat" with yam and a broth of fermented bean paste. Other ingredients in this hot pot include kangkong and mustard green. The hot pot is taken with bee hoon.
My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Kafe Vietnam Express on 16 June, 2017, where we were treated to the Lau Vit Nau Chao. I have never tried it before, and I love it very much. And we enjoyed the soup so much, we finished all of it (I didn't think we would, considering it was quite a substantial pot).
In addition to the Vietnamese duck hot pot, Kafe Vietnam Express also has the usual array of Vietnamese dishes, such as the Phở (Vietnamese beef koay teow), the Gỏi Cuốn (Vietnamese springroll) and the Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese pancake). During our visit, we also had a plate of the springrolls and the pancake, after which, we felt incredibly full!
As far as I am concerned, a meal of Vietnamese cuisine would not be complete without Vietnamese coffee. This is drip coffee or café filtre which brewed by allowing hot water to percolate through a stainless still percolator. The result is a strong black coffee that is usually drank with milk.
It was a wonderful lunch we had at Kafe Vietnam Express. Having tasted the Vietnamese duck hot pot, I am excited to tell people about it, so that they too have a chance to try out this unusual dish.
Here I am at Kafe Vietnam Express, with my Vietnamese drip coffee. (16 June, 2017)

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
