Com (green rice), a traditional Vietnamese dish made from young glutinous rice, with its vibrant green color and enticing aroma, is a must-try for visitors to Hanoi. Traditionally wrapped in lotus leaves, com has a subtle scent that reminds Hanoians to the flavour of autumn– the most seductive season with cool weather, gentle sunshine and yellow leaves falling on streets. Making green rice flakes is classified as one of the oldest traditional crafts of Hanoi, and is a part in the diverse and flavorful cuisine of the capital city. VNA Photo
