Vietnamese local topic gourmet "egg" coffee

Vietnam has been ruled by China for a thousand years, but tea culture is popular in China. Why is coffee culture popular in Vietnam? I'm afraid there is no correct answer, but I believe it is influenced by French culture. Vietnam became a French colony around 1860 until 1945, so the coffee culture was brought to Vietnam by the mother country of the colony. after independence from France, around the middle of the 20th century, Vietnam was also influenced by the culture that Germany began to produce "instant coffee", and became inextricably bound to coffee, making coffee tasting more and more popular in Vietnam.

Now, Vietnam has become a country that loves coffee madly. There are more and more fashionable cafes in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other places. One of the drinks that caf é guests must order is "egg" coffee. Vietnam's "egg" coffee is in the thick Vietnamese coffee, add a fresh raw egg, go down to stir, it is said that because Vietnamese milk was too expensive. The locals want to make a cappuccino foam in the coffee, so they use the egg yolk as a substitute and mix it well to make a cappuccino-like "egg" coffee.

There are two kinds of "egg" coffee in Vietnam: cold coffee and hot coffee. When the hot coffee is ready, it is packed in a coffee cup with a dense yellow egg yolk. Coffee that tastes like ice cream is more like a dessert than a cup of coffee. In addition to the strong smell of coffee, there is also the sweetness of eggs, which is sweet but not greasy, according to CNN.

Mark Lowerson, who brings tourists from all over the world to taste Vietnamese local cuisine, said that "egg" coffee is selling well, and most tourists find it a special experience to try "egg" coffee. It's hard to imagine putting these two kinds of food in the same cup. It sounds like fun. Few customers don't like "egg" coffee, and even people who don't drink it often find it amazing to drink.
