The Hao Hoa morning

Hao Hoa starts every day at 6am in the 177/1 Lý Tự Trọng alley: cloth stretched over the steamer, thin rice batter, rolls steamed and rolled hot plate by plate for diners seated by the stove. No glossy price board, no big sign — just steam, rice-batter aroma, and white plates dotted with fried shallots. Sold out by late morning, usually before 11:30.

THE 177/1 ALLEY

A true alley shop

Hao Hoa sits in the 177/1 Lý Tự Trọng alley, Bến Thành — find the sign and the steaming cloth.

THE 6AM CLOTH

Steam from 6am

Cloth stretched over the steamer from 6am — thin batter, set in seconds.

ROLLED HOT

Rolled on the spot, eaten hot

Northern-style hot rice rolls: pork, egg, shrimp-pork — rolled hot, with chả lụa.
