I don't know the bitter taste of coffee.

​ a few rays of sunlight through the dark green velvet lace curtains, projected on the bamboo rocking chair in the room, pulling out a long oblique shadow, the wooden floor is covered with the unique tan luster of the log, but there are some mottled marks, a white carved bed sheet is scattered softly on the big bed, and a corner hangs to the foot of the Roman column.

Some people are not suitable for drinking coffee, such as me, after drinking, there will be palpitations, tension, headache, skin itching and other allergic symptoms, drowsy but can not sleep, after repeated success, gradually give up this attempt. If there is no investigation, there will be no right to speak, because if you drink less coffee, there is no way to establish taste in this field, and it is still impossible to tell the difference between mocha, latte and cappuccino, let alone the advantages and disadvantages of coffee beans from different places. When traveling in Europe, I saw that the old law would come for a cup of coffee every few hours, even if they stood on the side of the street and drank it, as if what they had drunk was not a drink, but a kind of liquid energy.

But Vietnamese coffee is different. In fact, there is no Vietnam on the list of countries and regions famous for producing high-quality coffee beans, such as Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica, Hawaii and Indonesia. Vietnam is not a coffee-rich country. So why is Vietnamese coffee so famous all over the world? I think this has a lot to do with the very formal way Vietnamese coffee is made.

In Vietnam, whether it's an ordinary-looking local restaurant on a city street or a luxurious viewing restaurant in Riviera Resort, as long as you order a cup of standard Vietnamese coffee, the waiter will bring you a transparent glass with about 1/4 white condensed milk at the bottom and a set of metal filter at the mouth. The filter is generally made of steel or aluminum, because it has been used for a long time, some have already been uneven, or even out of shape, but this will not affect the filtering effect at all. Sprinkle coffee powder into the filter, then pour in boiling water, close the lid, and make use of the gravity of the water, the coffee juice will drop from thick to dark brown, from fast to slow, until the coffee happens to fill the glass when there is no more liquid dripping. It's very clever. At this point, remove the filter, mix the coffee and condensed milk with a spoon, and a cup of slippery Vietnamese coffee is ready. Perhaps due to the addition of condensed milk, Vietnamese coffee was imported with a lot less bitterness, but full of sweetness, changing my stereotype of coffee, and more surprisingly, I had no previous symptoms. My coffee phobia was miraculously cured in Vietnam.

The process of waiting for the coffee to be ready is actually the best. You can use this time to empty yourself and think nothing but stare at the cup in front of you in the fresh sea breeze and watch Didi coffee fall; or, you can use this waiting time to talk to the handsome guy at the next table-- I'm waiting for my coffee to be ready, where are you from?-- what a natural beginning. Or, you can just take a closer look at the person sitting opposite to see if he still has love in his eyes and is willing to spend all the boring time with you.

Colonialism is controversial, but the experience of colonization can also bring different systems and cultures to an uncivilized country. If the French had not set foot on the land of Vietnam, Vietnam might still be a backward land with a long coastline and rich natural resources. Without the ancient buildings with European customs and the unique history formed by the blending of Eastern and Western cultures, I am afraid that today's Vietnam can hardly become a holiday destination for travelers around the world.

​ imagine that the reason why Saigon is called the "capital of lovers" is not the continuation of French romance in the land of Asia. A few rays of sunlight passed through the dark green velvet lace curtains and projected on the bamboo rocking chair in the room, pulling out a long oblique shadow. The wooden floor was covered with the unique tan luster of the log, but there were some mottled marks. A white carved bed sheet was scattered softly on the big bed, with a corner perpendicular to the foot of the Roman column. Such a scene is sexy, which only belongs to Saigon. It is as if you have been brought into the era of the movie "Lover". That kind of repressed and struggling, doomed foreign love can only take place in Vietnam at that time. The charm of such an emotional story written by a woman who has never been there shows its charm. At this time, come to a cup of full-bodied Vietnamese coffee and savor the bitterness and sweetness of love in it.

​ in the northern Vietnamese city of Hanoi, perhaps because of its capital and political center, the romantic atmosphere is a little less than that of Saigon, but it still does not hinder the old-fashioned traditional restaurant hidden in the 36-row old street by the sword lake. Every day, the aunts and aunts of the neighborhood are welcomed. Throughout the morning and afternoon after a plate of fried spring rolls and a bowl of soup noodles, order a cup of Vietnamese coffee in an ordinary glass. Can even be sweet to distinguish a variety of tastes, slowly chat about home, share gossip, spend a peaceful and peaceful day.

​ is in the seaside resort city of Menai, where I hope to visit again and again while enjoying the sea breeze in the semi-open-air restaurant of the European villa resort hotel and eating a healthy salad breakfast without missing a cup of refreshing coffee. Or in the evening, when the lights are on, playful young people begin to carry wine kegs filled with ice, ready to move in the sound of dynamic music, while resort hotels show their own talents, setting up appetizing seafood BBQ in front of private beaches, stirring your taste buds with fragrance. At this time, you also need to refresh yourself with a cup of sweet Vietnamese coffee after a seafood meal and a variety of cocktails to welcome the best part of the party at midnight, or even prepare for the sunrise at sea the next day.

Because I fell in love with Vietnamese coffee, I certainly bought a lot of different grades of coffee powder before leaving the country, with a higher concentration according to the number, and also bought that special filter. Back home, the first thing is full of joy to practice in their own kitchen, want to bring family a special joy, but repeated several times, but how can not do that kind of taste at that time. I don't know if it is because of the different water quality, or because of the lack of romantic feelings at that time, or because the store added an extra secret recipe to the coffee. In short, the delicious flavor that can never be tasted in the local area has disappeared without a trace in Beijing.

Vietnam, Vietnamese coffee, did you create such a scam in order to get people to go again and again? Maybe I should go to Vietnam again for the unique Vietnamese coffee in my memory.
