description Vietnamese Egg Coffee Overview
Vietnamese egg coffee (cà phê trứng) is a beverage created in Hanoi, Vietnam, reportedly in 1946 when milk was scarce. The drink consists of strong Vietnamese dark roast coffee topped with a fluffy layer created by whisking egg yolks with sweetened condensed milk until they form a creamy, meringue-like consistency. The beverage was invented at the Giang Café in Hanoi's Old Quarter, where it remains a specialty. Egg coffee is typically served hot in a small cup placed inside a bowl of warm water to maintain temperature, though cold variations also exist.
It has become a distinctive part of Hanoi's coffee culture.
