Vietnam is the worldβs second largest exporter of coffee. We are crazy about coffee π. For us, coffee plays an important part in our daily social life. It's not just a drink-it's our culture π
Coffee shops can be found at every corner in the country, from street-side to highly-stylised shops. You can see locals sitting in the coffee shops all day long and we go to shop for many different reasons like: catch up with friend, meet client, interview, study or just simply watch street, etc.
I'm sure,(after Food) coffee is one of things that tourists love about Viet Nam and a must-try when you visit Viet Nam. It's flavorful and strong π...just damn good
Let's me list how many types of coffee we have made: (iced/hot) milk coffee, (iced/hot) black coffee, coconut coffee, egg coffee, yoghurt coffee, salt coffee, and and and....durian coffee π We sound to have some unusual coffee tastes in the world π
Today, I would love to share 3 best types of coffee that I highly recommend.
1. Vietnamese Iced Coffee
My go-to coffee every single day π
We almost drink the dark and strong brew with sweetened condensed milk. (Fresh milk is not a common ingredient here)
If you don't like milk, can use sugar instead and we call it " black coffee"π
Another way very traditional Vietnamese and if you have time π is to get a coffee phin filter. A layer of condensed milk at the bottom of a glass, the signature coffee press is then placed on top and slowly drip drip drip π
2. Egg Coffee
Have you heard about Egg coffee? Well π What's on your head when hearing it?
"Egg coffee is thick, strong and dark vietnamese brewed coffee topped with a sweet, light and creamy foam of egg yolk and condensed milk."
Traditionally from Hanoi, egg coffee has become famous. If you visit Ha Noi, don't miss this and you can find the real taste of egg coffee at "Giang coffee" (History of the 70-year-old coffee). You can still find good egg coffee in other parts of Viet Nam.
It's the most amazing coffee I have ever tried.
3. Coconut Coffee
Coconut coffee-yea summer treat-beat the heat π
It's simple recipe and easy to make a freshing and tasty coconut coffee. Black strong coffee is blended with coconut cream, condensed milk and ice in a sort of shake, and then I prefer to put some dried sliced coconut or fresh meat coconut on top.
Let's grab a coffee and enjoy the weekend
