Gà Nướng Cơm Lam Thiên Phúc Nha Trang

The fullest set: a whole charcoal-roasted chicken, one tube of bamboo-cooked sticky rice and four fried swirl buns.

Just the bird — one whole chicken off the charcoal rotisserie, no rice and no buns. The shop calls it the lonely chicken.

A whole charcoal-roasted chicken with two tubes of bamboo rice — the way to order it when the rice matters as much as the bird.

A whole charcoal-roasted chicken with eight fried swirl buns — golden, crisp at the edges, torn apart by hand.

Half a charcoal-roasted chicken with one tube of bamboo rice and five fried buns — the combo cut down to half a bird.

One swirl bun fried to a crisp golden shell, added by the piece and dipped in the chilli sauce that comes with the chicken.

Sticky rice packed into a length of bamboo and grilled until the cane scents the grain; the tube is peeled back and the rice eaten in rounds.
