Specialities

Com (young rice) is a fall specialty of Hanoi. Made from young glutitious rice, com is an ordinary yet elegant snack, wrapped in lotus leaves to preserve the scent of young rice and lotus flower. Com is often served with banana, persimmon or a cup of tea. It is best to take it slow while enjoying com in order to feel the softness and sweetness of the rice and the gentle scent of young lotus leaves.
