The Heart of Com Com: Origin and Meaning
Com Com, meaning “rice rice” in Vietnamese, reflects the fundamental role rice plays in Vietnamese cuisine. It represents nourishment, family, and tradition. At Com Com Restaurant, we honour this tradition by using high-quality rice and incorporating it into many of our dishes, from comforting bowls of Com Tam (broken rice) to flavourful fried rice variations. We believe in using fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, staying true to the authentic flavours of Vietnam.
Essential Ingredients: A Symphony of Flavours
Vietnamese cuisine is renowned for its delicate balance of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and bitter flavours. At Com Com Restaurant, we carefully select each ingredient to create this harmonious symphony. Fresh herbs like mint, coriander, and basil, alongside pungent fish sauce, zesty lime juice, and fiery chillies, form the foundation of our flavour profiles. We also utilise a variety of spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and cardamom, which add depth and complexity to our dishes.
