Introduction | Broken Rice (Cơm Tấm) | Pork Stew (Thịt Kho Tàu) | MapWherever you are in Vietnam – from Saigon to Hanoi, from the Mekong Delta to the Red River, from the Central Highlands to the Northwest Mountains – you can always rely on one of two dishes to fill you up: cơm tấm and thịt kho tàu – broken rice and pork stew. These two pork dishes are ubiquitous in Vietnam. Breakfast, lunch or dinner; they’re always available. Forget phở – the famous beef noodle soup – the real national dish of Vietnam is pork and rice.

The Lunchtime Rush at Quán Cơm 17, SaigonPork stew is usually cheap. On the street it should be between 15,000 – 30,000VND ($0.75 – $1.50) with rice, a small soup and an iced tea.
Ordering is easy – just point it out among the trays of food. Don’t expect it to be hot – these are quick lunches for busy people and everything is pre-cooked. You can find hot pork stew on the menu in most restaurants, but obviously be prepared to pay more.
