The morning steamer house
Tan Sanh Hoat is the morning dim sum house on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai — a steam-bright room where the baskets start hissing before dawn, shu mai and har gow pleated by Cantonese hands, hủ tiếu and noodles rounding out the breakfast spread before the city is fully awake.
Why Tan Sanh Hoat earns a visit
Four things make Tan Sanh Hoat: dawn steamers, Cantonese-pleated shu mai, har gow, and the early-morning institution ritual.
