Sticky rice can go with Chinese sausage, with braised intestines (phá lấu). with roasted chicken...and today I tried for the first time : my sticky rice is served with chicken's internal organs: from liver, gizzard, to the young eggs!
I actually prefer sticky rice simply with chicken, it should be good enough, but when I heard from the waiter "You want to order chicken's internal?". I was curious and said "Yes". And here we go a small plate of sticky rice and with ...what you see in the photo!
I don't want to say it's not good but it's probably too much for a tiny plate of sticky rice! The young eggs are always good but to me, they are just ok here. The liver, the gizzard could be not a good choice to go with sticky rice due to its texture! And it costs 35,000 VND!
Maybe someone like it, so here you go "Xôi gà No 1" (Sticky rice with chicken No 1) on 21 Nguyễn Trung Trực street! They used to have only one small stall but now it's expanded into the next two houses...so the news about the Sticky rice Yến in Hà Nội (Xôi Yến at 35B Nguyễn Hữu Huân, Hà Nội) should be true: 60 millions VND (equal to 3,000 USD) as their daily sale, and 1,8 billion VND (equal to 85,000 USD!) per month! It means more than one million USD per year!
Talking about these figures, I suddenly remember an old lady, a street vendor, selling her famous corn sticky rice on Lê Thánh Tôn street (Sài Gòn) for 50 years . Good but expensive, 20,000 VND for a corn sticky rice, smaller than my fist! She has 11 children and all of them have not less than one house!
Can you imagine? Selling a simple good street food in Vietnam, that could bring you a big money and blossom into a huge wealth! Let's open the shop and sell sticky rice in Vietnam!
