Flying Rice @ Com Nieu Sai Gon


Location: 59, Ho Xuan Huong St, District 3, HCMC

Though I've been to another restaurant with the same theme, "flying rice", I think this is more authentic. We just finished our workshop where I asked my customer for direction to the restaurant. Not sure whether the taxi driver brought us to the intended restaurant or not, but still we able to see this special culinary in HCMC.

Waiter will smash the claypot and throw the rice across from one end to another end in the restaurant. Don't be surprised or shocked whenever the waiter start to smash the claypot. Once the waiter at the other end able to catch the rice, it will be served to the customer. Before it is served, the rice will be cut into quarters. The rice is topped with sesame seeds and vegetable. It is crispy as need to make the rice solid before the waiter able to throw it. It's just an ordinary rice, but special due to the process of serving the food.


Besides that, we also ordered other dishes. However, we feels that it's just an ordinary dish. We've ordered pork knuckle. Another dish should be crab stuffed with some vegetable, couldn't remember what was it actually.

One should try out at this restaurant to see yourself on how the rice is served, which is quite unique in HCMC.
