Bún kèn, also known as trumpet rice noodle soup, is a dish of Cambodian origins that is a specialty of Phú Quốc. The name originates from the Mekong Delta Khmer people's term "ken" when referring to dishes cooked with coconut milk.

This labor-intensive dish is usually not made at home, because, getting the texture for the fish curry right, and pounding the fish in a mortar, takes hour(s) of work. The rice vermicelli at the base of the dish is used to counterbalance and create a chewy texture. Snakehead fish is usually used due to the brittle nature of its meat and having little smell.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
