Concept and origin of Egg Coffee

When enjoying it, you will feel the slight bitterness of the coffee mixed with the sweet, fatty taste of eggs, creating a very special, unforgettable flavor.
The origin of Egg Coffee in Vietnam is also very interesting. It is said to have been born in the 1940s in Hanoi, during a period of milk shortage, a talented bartender came up with the unique idea of replacing milk with egg yolks.
