When did Egg Coffee come about?
There is no document recording when Egg Coffee was first introduced, but it is known that by 1946, the whole world had known about this special drink. At that time, there was a young man named Nguyen Van Giang, who worked at the Metropole Hotel in Hanoi as a barista. However, at that time, the coffee was quite diluted and mixed with milk.

Once, due to a lack of milk, he used eggs instead, but that drink was highly appreciated and loved by many customers. After a while, he decided to quit his job at the hotel and opened his own coffee shop with Egg Coffee as the main dish.

Currently, his coffee shop is still in Hanoi and is inherited by Giang’s son.

According to Vnexpress, Mr. Mark Lowerson – the operator of Street Eats Hanoi said, “Most of my customers love this drink. When describing it, they can’t imagine how eggs combine with coffee. And I’ve never seen anyone who doesn’t like this dish.”

If Italy has a captivating cappuccino, Vietnamese Egg Coffee is no less.

Not only is it different in the way it is made, but the way it is enjoyed is also very special. You have to tilt the cup so that you can enjoy both the egg and the coffee. People say that Egg Coffee has “three flavors and two smells”, the perfect combination of coffee, eggs and condensed milk, giving the drinker a completely different taste sensation compared to other cups of coffee in the world, bearing the typical features of the ancient capital of Hanoi.

What makes Ca Phe Trung appealing?

Those who have never had egg coffee will have numerous questions about how the fishy flavor of eggs may be balanced with the bitter content of coffee. But once you’ve experienced it, no matter how picky a diner is, they’ll be fascinated entirely by all five senses, from sight to smell to taste. This is because egg coffee is not only tasty but also visually appealing. The egg foam and coffee combination produce a beautiful golden brown color. Each black coffee bean is filtered through a filter, yet when mixed with beaten eggs, they appear to be divided, erupting in tiny dots and making countless gorgeous natural patterns.

Egg coffee tastes similar to brown coffee with condensed milk but without the intense sweetness when you drink it. It’s identical to a latte or cappuccino but not as bland and sharper. The power of coffee remains, but before reaching the bitter aftertaste, the entire throat is filled with the delightful, soft, sweet fat of eggs, butter, sugar, and milk.

How to taste this drink properly?

When enjoying egg coffee, you should also consider using it to get the most out of the drink’s distinct flavor.

• The best way to enjoy egg coffee is to tilt the cup so that you can drink both the coffee and the egg cream. At this moment, the unique scent of coffee combines with the rich flavor of egg cream.
• Use less egg cream on top and mix the coffee and egg cream. This drink will give you a sweeter taste of coffee while minimizing the bitterness of pure coffee.
• To avoid fishy flavors, use coffee while it is still hot.
