Steamed hot, from the cloth at dawn
Bánh Cuốn Nóng Hào Hoa in the 177/1 Lý Tự Trọng alley, Bến Thành, District 1 — an alley shop for northern-style hot rice rolls: sheets steamed on the cloth, rolled hot to order with pork, egg, fried shallots, chả lụa, and light fish sauce. Mornings only, 06:00–11:30 daily — come late and they are gone.
A steaming morning
Hao Hoa sells mornings only — the cloth steamer fires up at 6, every roll rolled hot to order, served with chả lụa and northern-style fish sauce. Sells out early; the shop closes before noon.

Pork-Filled Rice Rolls
Hot rice rolls with minced pork and wood-ear mushroom, rolled thin off the cloth.
