When it comes to Vietnamese cuisine, in addition to the most representative Vietnamese pho, another classic that cannot be missed is French bread with smoked ham, cucumber, green onion, pork floss and spices. Paired with a cup of Vietnamese coffee, it is a simple and satisfying meal. Vietnamese coffee culture is prevalent and deeply influenced by French colonialism. Vietnam has even become the world's second largest coffee exporter. The most special of them is the local specialty drink - egg coffee.Egg coffee is a local delicacy in Vietnam.

Egg coffee originated during the Franco-Vietnamese War, when milk was scarce and expensive. A hotel bartender, Nguyen Van Giang, had an idea to replace milk with egg yolks, condensed milk, milk and sugar to make dense milk foam, thus creating the unique flavor of egg coffee. This coffee tastes like melted tiramisu or ice cream dessert, and is suitable for both hot and cold. Its dense and smooth taste is loved by tourists.

If you can't go to Vietnam in person, you can also easily make your own egg coffee at home. Just prepare Vietnamese coffee powder, 1 egg yolk, condensed milk, long-life milk and sugar, beat the milk foam and pour it on the hot coffee to make your own Vietnamese dessert-style coffee, adding an exotic flavor to your daily life.
