Kien Xue vermicelli - eating is falling in love right away

Translated by Bing
What to eat in Phu Quoc tourism? You must not miss vermicelli, a famous Phu Quoc specialty.

Bun quoi is the second most famous and popular dish in Phu Quoc. Therefore, many people mistakenly think that Pearl Island is the homeland of this dish. But in fact, vermicelli originated from Binh Dinh. The shrimp noodle dish of the Binh Dinh people followed the fishermen who came here and was transformed into today's noodle soup. Kien - BUILD is the brand that gave birth to Phu Quoc Bun Quay.

But why vermicelli? People here said that this noodle dish will be served with a cup of dipping sauce made from spices such as soup powder, sugar, ground chili, monosodium glutamate, lemon... To make a delicious cup of dipping sauce, we have to stir it quickly. When the spices dissipate, the dipping sauce is comparable and the attractive red color is the "standard".


This strange-sounding and fun name is actually very reasonable. Because the patties – the special thing of a bowl of vermicelli, made from freshly ground shrimp or fish, filled with hot broth. When eating, guests must stir it up evenly so that the shrimp, fish are cooked and the broth is evenly flavored, sweet and sweet.

Bun Quoi has a strange way of serving, not for those who come to eat, just sit at the waiting table. "If you want to eat, you have to roll into the kitchen", you will have to prepare everything from the dipping sauce to bring the vermicelli to the table to enjoy. The correct way to eat vermicelli is to add 1/3 cup of dipping sauce to the bowl, then stir continuously until the soup is cloudy like rice water, just "blow and eat". Thanks to the ingredients processed on the spot, each ingredient spreads and intertwines, blowing a fresh breeze into the taste buds of diners.


The ingredients of a bowl of vermicelli are 100% handmade. The vermicelli is made at the restaurant since it was in the form of rice flour, fish and shrimp are completely caught in Phu Quoc, extremely fresh and guaranteed. Even raw materials such as pepper are planted, harvested and processed right here.


Enjoying vermicelli in Kien Xay, you are enjoying a dish with both taste and culture and experience. Although the restaurant is crowded and somewhat hot, everyone who comes to Phu Quoc wants to eat this impressive delicacy.
