Foreign Foodie Praises Vietnamese-Styled Deep Fried Chicken
Nowadays, Vietnamese cuisine has become more and more attractive to foreign tourists. Not only are there famous dishes like Banh Mi or Pho, but many travelers from other countries are also passionate about local dishes that they have never tried or heard of before.
Recently, a foreign foodie shared about a delicious dish called “Com Ga Xoi Mo” (Vietnamese fried chicken with rice) that she tried. She remarked that this is “the best fried chicken that I have ever eaten. Only in Vietnam”.

This clip also quickly received the attention of many netizens. Viewers are curious about the luxurious dish when completed, so the blogger added more of the pictures for them to see. She said: “A lot of people asked about the finished dish. Here it is! The skin is extremely crispy, like a snack. The meat still retains moisture.”
When a netizen asked about the address where she enjoyed the fried chicken rice, she confirmed that it was at a small restaurant called “Com Ga Su Su”, a famous fat-fried chicken rice stop in Ho Chi Minh City.

This fried chicken rice restaurant has existed for more than 20 years and is known by many people for its unique technique of cooking the perfect dishes. The restaurant uses a system of machines that pour fat from the top down, continuously to cook the chicken pieces. Thanks to this method, the fried chicken pieces are more delicious, with thin and crispy skin, while the meat inside still remains soft and moist.

Along with delicious fried chicken, the restaurant also has a very high-tech rice stirring system that does not require human effort. A portion of fried chicken rice here includes one piece of chicken, a full bowl of rice, served with cucumbers, tomatoes, Vietnamese coriander, and especially the special dipping sauce prepared using the restaurant's own recipe. Besides, the restaurant also sells seaweed soup as a side dish.
