It has been a while since I posted a blog dispatch. This is because not much has been happening. However, because many of you have asked several questions about Vietnamese foods, I decided to post this update.Com Tam (pronounced "cum tum") is one of my favorite lunches or dinners. Com means "broken rice", which is just like regular rice but "broken" into smaller pieces resulting in a pleasant yet different texture than regular rice.
I am not sure what Tam literally means - but in this case it signifies "pork chop". It is normally served with a clear, pork-broth soup with "greens", and a small dish of cooked vegetables. The "dipping sauce" is mildly hot. It is normally served with Cha Da (iced green tea). All are delicious and only cost $2.39 as shown - including drink!
