2. Le Van Tam Dried Beef Salad
For several decades, rain or shine, Lê Văn Tám dried beef salad has become familiar to fans of Saigon's dried beef salad. Rarely does a street food have such a good reputation as the Lê Văn Tám beef salad. It's called a 'pure street' because there's only one salad cart on the corner, and customers sit on the sidewalk across from Lê Văn Tám Park, order by quantity, and enjoy it right there. Because it's near many high schools, colleges, and universities located on the city's major streets like Võ Thị Sáu, Điện Biên Phủ, and Hai Bà Trưng, the main customers are young people. The average price ranges from 15,000 to 22,000 VND.
The Lê Văn Tám dried beef salad can be as delicious as many other places' dried beef, but the dipping sauce poured over the salad and the rice cakes are truly famous. The vendor revealed that the secret to the delicious rice cakes is that the rice is mixed with finely ground shrimp and spices before being fried, making them crispy and rich in flavor. Especially when mixed with sour and spicy dipping sauce, the delicious taste stands out, far from the common shrimp crackers found at many other places. And it would be remiss not to mention the flavorful chili sauce that harmonizes perfectly with the dipping sauce. The shredded papaya here is not squeezed dry like in many other places but carefully squeezed to maintain its crispiness and natural sweetness. It's a carefully chosen type of papaya, not too young to be bitter, nor too ripe to be dry.

4. Trash Field Broken Rice
Trash Field Broken Rice is quite... peculiar. However, at the rice eatery located in front of house number 73 Le Van Linh (ward 13, district 4), it's a normal thing, or just like a habit of the people in the Xom Chieu market area for over 30 years. Many customers happily nickname the rice eatery 'trash field broken rice.' The name of the restaurant sounds a bit... strange, but the quality of the broken rice here is beyond reproach. The eatery is right behind the Xom Chieu market, where there's a small makeshift garbage dump collected by the market traders. Over the years, this strange name along with the irresistible delicious broken rice has always made the eatery crowded with customers. The main dish of the eatery is broken rice with braised pork ribs and grilled pork ribs. The reason for this name is because the rice-loving locals in district 4 gave it a memorable name for fun, but it ended up becoming famous as Trash Field Broken Rice.
Trash Field Broken Rice is located on a quite spacious sidewalk, which is cleaned and tidy. The owner doesn't use glass cabinets to store food like many other eateries; instead, the broken rice is arranged on two consecutive tables. The seasoning of the meat is just right, with a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors. Prices range from 50,000 to 100,000 VND. The food is abundant with various items including young ribs, mature ribs, pig ears, eggs, grilled pork belly, fried chicken, sausages, stuffed squid... to boiled vegetables, and stir-fried dishes. One thing that customers love about eating broken rice here is that the rice grains are cooked entirely from broken rice. The rice is cooked just right, not mushy or dry, but with a chewy and fragrant texture. The plate of white rice is always drizzled with fresh green onion oil, shiny and very appetizing.

A bowl of porridge costs only about 10,000 - 20,000 VND, but it's plentiful and guarantees a rich, full flavor. Most customers at Mr. Tạ's Rib Porridge buy takeout because the restaurant is always crowded, and it's hard to find a comfortable seat to eat in. The rib porridge here is ground into powder and then cooked into porridge. The ribs used are young ribs cut into small pieces, very fatty to eat. In addition to the ribs, there is also minced meat in the porridge. The minced meat is stir-fried with salty meat broth and poured over the porridge, which is wonderful.
