Steam over Nguyen Thuong Hien street
Com Tam Ti Ni has only three things: a tiny shop in District 3, a steaming rice pot, and honey-glazed ribs.
THE SMALL SHOP
184A Nguyen Thuong Hien
Right on Nguyen Thuong Hien street, District 3 — a tiny few-table shop, a cheerful owner, and regulars who find their own way in.
THE RICE POT
Pot-steamed rice
Rice steamed in the pot rather than an electric cooker — grains stay loose and fragrant, never soggy, never dry.
THE RIBS
Honey glaze
Thick-cut ribs, well-marinated, honey-glazed and grilled on the spot — golden, hot, appetizing.
The ribs are cut thicker than at other shops, glazed with honey before grilling.— Saigon food guides
