What did we order at Kkamon?

This day, the order at Kkamon Bundang Jeongja Direct Store was the signature backbone pho, Kkamon cream shrimp with its tempting lemon cream sauce, and bánh cuốn, the Vietnamese rice-paper roll. Each dish that arrived was neat yet appetizing, and it was hard to look away.

Backbone pho: tender pork neck bones and a broth with a hint of cinnamon

Kkamon's backbone pho comes in a brimming bowl, imposing from the first look. It's packed with pork neck bones simmered until tender, and the meat comes off so easily that a touch of the chopsticks is enough. The texture is very soft.

The richly brewed broth carries a gentle spice aroma with a faint passing hint of cinnamon, giving it a distinctive flavor that's both sweet and deeply savory.

One sip clears you out yet leaves a sweetness that clings to your mouth, so you keep drinking the broth. It's almost magical. Put tender neck-bone meat on the chewy noodles and eat them together, and it's even more filling and flavorful.

Kkamon cream shrimp: crispy whole shrimp with lemon cream sauce

Kkamon cream shrimp is thick, crisply fried whole shrimp topped generously with a fresh, sweet lemon cream sauce. The mix of richness and brightness is superb.

Behind the crunchy coating, the springy shrimp meat pops as you bite, and the sweet-tart lemon cream sauce neatly cuts the greasiness that fried food can have.

The sauce is tossed on thinly, so it makes a perfect side with pho, adding a fresh accent.

Deep-broth backbone pho, bright Kkamon cream shrimp and moist, charming bánh cuốn, all enjoyed in a delicate, exotic interior, showed the very best of Vietnamese cooking.

Bánh cuốn: shrimp and bean sprouts in a thin rice sheet

Kkamon's bánh cuốn is a Vietnamese rice-paper dumpling, and the moist texture of its soft, thin rice sheet is impressive.

Inside the clear, thin sheet are springy shrimp and crunchy bean sprouts, generously packed. The more you chew, the more you taste the clean, natural flavor and juiciness of the ingredients.

A salty-sweet house sauce and fried onion topping give it a nutty, moist flavor that keeps you reaching for more.
