Coming from Singapore, I had to come to Heart Of Darkness to try their menu at its original source. Craft Beers at its best!!!

Personally I enjoyed the craft beers in Heart of Darkness Singapore. I learned only of Heart of Darkness Saigon when a few of my beers ran out and the Singapore staff shared that they ran out and waiting for Saigon to deliver the beers.

Here in Saigon, the beers are consistent with the ones in Singapore and of course the ones in Singapore are the same because they are imported from Saigon. Even their limited edition range is shared in both countries. Had the opportunity to try the Ghost Stout here in Saigon where I got a take away bottle.

The usual personal favourite like the Excited Magpie Irish Stout tastes exactly the same in both countries. Same goes with the multi award winner - Dream Alone Pale Ale and the Futile Purpose Cucumber Pilsner.

The huge difference here in Saigon is that the food menu is extensive and quality is a lot better than in Singapore. Some dishes are the same but quality and quantity of each items is vastly different.

In both countries, I ordered the sharing platter and the quality of the pulled pork was similar. The Ribs were a lot more tender and juicy here in Saigon. The taste here is a bit more refined where as in Singapore, the same type ribs were found lacking in taste, texture, size and visual. The menu include a full range of different salads which was missing unless I totally overlooked them from the menu in Singapore.

Salads were huge, fresh and crisp - good fresh ingredients were definitely used and prepared with. Had the Greek Salad and Caesars

Another plus is that they actually got nice condiments to go with the platter. I noted a hot sauce was also “Heart of Darkness” labeled. Spicy unique and goes extremely well with the ribs and pulled pork.

Here in Saigon, I had the opportunity to try its tacos amongst the “extended menu” and it’s a beautiful surprise! Great with beers!!

The pricing in Saigon is pleasantly fair with beers prices nearly half of that in Singapore which is understandably so, due to the various taxes to alcohol.

Ambience at Heart of Darkness Saigon was great, good crowds and place was clean. An outdoor sitting area and also indoors with tables and areas by the bar.

Its staff at Heart of Darkness Saigon were attentive and efficient. They are conversant in English which is perfect. This attribute can be same if the same for the staff in Singapore! Great people and knowledgeable in the types of beers in its menu.

Will visit again in both countries!!
