.jpg) Com Tam of Sai Gon (known as Ho Chi Minh City) is so mouthwatering and distinctive that it is considered as the should- try-first specialty when tourists reach this hustling and bustling city. This dish is an integral part of life in Saigon, as is Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) in Hanoi; locals eat it anytime, in the morning, afternoon or even at night. The main ingredient is fractured rice that is very cheap kind of rice in Vietnam, but preferred by chefs due to its different texture and taste. Com Tam is enjoyed with fragrant grilled pork, tough thinly shredded pork skin (called “bi”) and various green and pickled vegetables, accompany with omelet, prawn paste cakes and grilled prawns. Sometimes, soy sauce or sesame oil added when grilling meat to make amazing smell and saffron color. Additionally, a small bowl of sauce along with a small bowl of soup broth is provided to serve with the dish. Day after day, the aromatic flavors of Com Tam, of grilled pork threads their way through each street corner, each alley, whetting many curious passersby’s appetite. Just try it to think about it, miss it and then have a deep longing for it. |
