Finding the best Com Tam in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Com Tam I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled fish sauce with genuine knowledge and the clean and deeply savoury result was noticeably superior.

fresh herbs added at the table are a defining characteristic. The winning restaurant had the right a Hoi An restaurant feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. bia hoi draught beer was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Com Tam is made properly it's a completely different experience.
