I'm not intentionally on a hunt for Vietamese dishes. It's just that we were at Kopitiam Square today and the menu at this stall that caught my eye (10 Sengkang Square #01-52). I was curious about the "crispy pork rectum" (I think they meant large intestines, and it probably would have been pretty good), but instead focused on this chicken salad called gỏi gà xé in the foreground and a savory sticky rice called xôi mặn behind it.
The chicken salad was OK; compared to the rice paper salad from the other day, this wasn't as sweet and didn't have as much fishmint. But it still wasn't a taste that I've acquired. The thing in the background was much more interesting, despite how boring it looked. See, underneath all of that egg and pork floss was a mound of sticky rice with scallion oil and pâté smeared on it, making it deliciously rich and savory. Yum.
