I use my home made Nouc Mam w/all kinds of meats and even fish can be dipped into the sauce before eating. It's just a matter of taste.
Next time you're at the VN resturant, order the BBQ pork chops. Typically, the plate will come with pork chops, a bowl of the sweetened fish sauce, rice, pickeled dikon (Japanese word), sliced carrots, and some lettuce w/sliced cucumbers. So, beside dipping the pork chops, you could also dip your veggies into it. JT_26 posted a pic of the pork chop plate.
Usually, that pork chop plate is just delicious.

PS....forgot to mention that the VN also usually serve the sweetened fish sauce w/rice vermicelli noodles mixed with various meats and veggies in a bowl. Pour the sauce over the mixed goodies. Sorry but I forgot the name, maybe it was: Bun Cha? But anyway.....the name of the dish changes with every variation of added meat or veggies.
