A nameless stall, 40+ years on the morning canal bank.
Com Tam Le "Troc" at 113 Hoang Sa, Da Kao Ward, District 1 — a signless sidewalk rice stall that rents the Nam Lua pub's sidewalk every morning. Mr Le "Troc" cooks his mother-in-law's recipe at a flat 20k a plate, selling 6am to 10am till sold out — come late and there's nothing left.
Two plates, flat-rate 20k
The owner once quoted in 2018: rib rice 20k, skin-and-loaf rice 20k — flat rate. Saigon Times 2023 noted "prices from 23,000₫". Prices may have risen — verify at the stall.
Grilled rib rice
Grilled pork ribs over broken rice — the stall's staple, owner-quoted 2018.
Pork-skin & egg-loaf rice
Pork skin and egg loaf over broken rice — the second staple, owner-quoted 2018.
Owner-quoted 2018 prices (rib rice, skin-and-loaf rice: flat-rate 20k). Saigon Times 2023 noted "prices from 23,000₫". Reference prices — verify at the stall.
