II. Read the text carefully then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false
(F).
Once being a basic food of farmers and poor families in Vietnam, com tam or broken rice is
now a favourite dish of most Vietnamese. It is said that the best broken rice can be found in Saigon.
When you come to Saigon, you should try this dish at least one time and you will not regret it.
Com tam literally means broken rice. Broken rice originally consisted of grains which were
broken during the harvesting and cleaning of rice. In the past, as most people preferred to eat the
long, whole grain rice, broken rice grains were difficult to sell and usually eaten by the Vietnamese
working class because of the cheap price. Nowadays, often favored over long grain rice for its
unique flavour and texture, broken rice is one of the best-loved fares in Vietnam.
Local broken rice eateries can practically be found on every street in Saigon. A broken rice
dish is served with many beautiful colours from grilled pork chop with multi-flavour to steamed
egg, shredded pork skin, pickles, vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers ... and especially sweet
fish sauce that is the spirit of the dish.
1. Today, com tamis only eaten by poor Vietnamese.
2. Com tamis made from broken rice grains.
3. In the past, most people didn‟t eat broken rice grains because they were cheap.
4. It is difficult to find a place to eat com tam in Saigon.
5. The most important part of com tamis sweet fish sauce.
6. Com tamis now a favourite dish of Vietnamese people, especially Saigonese.
