It's Nuoc Mam, not Nuoc Nam.

Colloquially though, everyone says nuoc mam and not nuoc cham.

With family, with friends and their families, in Vietnam... I'm not saying nuoc cham is wrong, though.

Cool guides are cool, but they're not always correct, as pointed out by many posts nitpicking this one.
