In Vietnam, people celebrate many different festivals each year. The biggest festival in Vietnam is
Tết. This celebrates the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Vietnamese people have to prepare a lot
for this festival. Before Tết, people buy fruits and flowers from the market and decorate their houses.
Most people buy a special tree with lots of flowers. In the north of Vietnam, people buy peach trees
with pink flowers. In the south, people buy apricot trees with yellow flowers. Everyone cleans their
house before Tết. This is very important because you shouldn't clean it during Tết. During Tết, people
visit their family and friends. Few people go to school or work. Children wear new clothes and get
lucky money. It's a great time to watch lion dances and fireworks. Everyone is happy and excited

Once being a basic food of farmers and poor families in Vietnam, com tam or broken rice is now a
favourite dish of most Vietnamese. It is said that the best broken rice can be found in Saigon. When
you come to Saigon, you should try this dish at least one time and you will not regret it.
Com tam literally means broken rice. Broken rice originally consisted of grains which were broken
during the harvesting and cleaning of rice. In the past, as most people preferred to eat the long,
whole grain rice, broken rice grains were difficult to sell and usually eaten by the Vietnamese working
class because of the cheap price. Nowadays, often favored over long grain rice for its unique flavour
and texture, broken rice is one of the best-loved fares in Vietnam.
Local broken rice eateries can practically be found on every street in Saigon. A broken rice dish is
served with many beautiful colours from grilled pork chop with multi-flavour to steamed egg,
shredded pork skin, pickles, vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers ... and especially sweet fish
sauce that is the spirit of the dish.
1. Today, com tamis only eaten by poor Vietnamese.
