Autum in Hanoi is not only considered the most beautiful season of the year but is also famous for the most delicious traditional food that can be found on any corner of the streets. Some foods listed below are also regarded as “indispensable gifts” by people in the autumn months. Com (Green sticky rice) In Vietnamese cuisine, Com, also known as green sticky rice, is flattened and chewy green rice. It is not colored green, but rather immature rice kernels that have been roasted at extremely low heat and mashed in a mortar and pestle until flattened. Thousands of years ago, there was a huge storm that destroyed all paddy fields in Vietnam. The local people in Vong village had to collect and roast the remaining young rice to eat.

Com has long been a special habit of the people of the capital. Photo: Dien may XANH ...
