Egg Coffee

Egg Coffee is a famous Vietnamese street food that's a treat for coffee lovers. This special brew combines strong Vietnamese coffee with a creamy and frothy egg mixture. It has its origins in Hanoi, and the name of this dish makes tourists, so curious that many say they must try it when visiting Hanoi.

To make this delicious concoction, the coffee is brewed using a traditional drip filter, resulting in a strong and flavorful cup. What makes it stand out is the egg component—a mixture of egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and sometimes cheese—all whipped together until it becomes a foamy, meringue-like topping. The egg mixture is then carefully spooned on top of the rich coffee, creating a velvety and creamy layer.

This dish combines the richness of eggs with the aromatic goodness of coffee. It's especially tasty when enjoyed warm. Hanoi is said to be the first place this delicious treat first appeared, and even today, you can find it in old and famous coffee shops in the city. These places have become well-known and loved by both locals and visitors who want to experience the real taste of Egg Coffee.
