Securing second place on the list, com tam (broken rice) is described as a "traditional Vietnamese dish" made from fragmented rice grains leftover during the milling process.

Once popular primarily in rural areas of the Mekong Delta, com tam is now beloved by both locals and tourists alike, becoming a culinary symbol of Saigon culture.

Previously, com tam was also named one of the "Top 100 Street Foods in the World" by Taste Atlas in May.
