1.1. The history of the A-C noodles restaurant

Since the late 20th century, many people from Binh Dinh who  moved  to Phu Quoc to live brought along Tom noodles and started businesses. In 2000, the owner of Kien Xay restaurant created a new noodle dish by altering the ingredients of Binh Dinh Shrimp noodle dish.

Because the business didn’t have a sign, Phu Quoc people call this dish “bun quay” named after the ‘stirring’ process involved in making the vermicelli. After many years of trading, the owner decided to name the brand A-C noodle soup because his family has children studying Architecture and Construction, in order to avoid confusion with other brands.

Since then, noodle soup has gradually become famous, not only with locals but also with all tourists visiting the pearl island. Stir-fried noodle soup today has become a Phu Quoc specialty, contributing to enriching the cuisine here.
