The South Vietnamese area is well known for its favourite broken rice dish. This particular dish is mostly eaten during the morning. However many Vietnamese eat this dish at any time of the day. The name of the dish comes from the type of rice that is served in this dish. A little bit of broken rice is placed on a plate. Then a pork chop piece which has been grilled and marinated with special Vietnamese spices along with some shredded pork mix with some pork skin is also added to the rice.

After this some finely chopped cucumber, some pickled vegetables and tomato are added. Apart from all these prawn paste cake some steamed pork and egg custard, fried egg and grilled prawns are added.

Sizzling cake or Banh xeo-

You must have had pancake in your breakfast. Banh xeo is nothing but a type of Vietnamese pan cake which means sizzling cake. The cake, however, is nothing like the regular pancake that we eat.
