A Culinary Paradox: From Freezer to Fryer at Com Com Restaurant
Deep-fried ice cream might seem counterintuitive, but it’s a testament to the inventive spirit found in many cultures, including Vietnam’s vibrant street food scene. While the exact origins remain a mystery, some believe the technique was introduced to the West during the 1960s World’s Fair. At Com Com, we embrace this culinary adventure, adding our unique Vietnamese twist. Imagine the creamy richness of coconut ice cream, wrapped in a delicate layer of pandan-infused batter, then quickly fried to crispy perfection. It’s a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds.
