An egg coffee (Vietnamese: Cà phê trứng) is a Vietnamese drink traditionally prepared with egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk and robusta coffee.
The drink originated in Hanoi in 1946, when the First Indochina War caused a milk shortage in the city. A resourceful bartender at the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hotel used some whisked egg as a substitute, and the result was a success. eggCofee2 It’s similar to regular Vietnamese coffee, which has a layer of sweetened condensed milk at the bottom, but instead it’s topped with a mixture of whipped egg yolks and sugar or sweetened condensed milk, which winds up tasting almost like meringue.
