SAIGON BROKEN RICE
ORIGIN
-
The reputation of com tam finally reached the French authorities, who requested pork chops that resembled the Western-style steak.
Rice harvest produces tam, which is broken and fractured rice grains. In the past, tam was consumed by the lower class or underprivileged people who couldn’t afford whole grains.

EATING CULTURE
The food at a com tam or com binh dan eatery is displayed in trays and showcased in a large glass cabinet for customers to see. To order, simply point to your desired dish from the selection.
In Season 3 of MasterChef, the creation of com tam played a key role in helping the blind but talented Vietnamese chef, Christine Ha, win the coveted title.
Com tam is favored for breakfast and lunch. If you crave it for dinner, look for a sign reading “cơm tấm đêm,” meaning com tam at night.
Com tam prices can vary greatly depending on the quality of the side dishes and the reputation of the eatery.
