With
a quite complex recipe, including crunchy cold rice, clams, fried pork fat,
roasted peanuts, chili pepper, banana flower, star fruit, green apple, mint
herb, taro stem, fermented shrimp sauce and the most indispensible sauce, clam
broth, 'com hen' let us enjoy all sweet, buttery, salty, sour, bitter, and
extremely peppery-hot tastes at once.
The
most interesting thing here is the special combination of the cold rice and the
hot clam broth.
Besides,
the mixed fruits and vegetables bring fresh, crispy, vibrant flavors that are
bound to abate the hot of the summer, while the piping hot of the clam broth is
supposed to warm guests’ hearts in the winter. It is tempting to enjoy a savory
bow of 'com hen'.
