Wandering around Hanoi's Old Quarter in a winter  afternoon, do not forget to stop by a café shop in Nguyen Huu Huan Street for a  mouth-watering egg-coffee cup. This special beverage seems extremely favorable  and attractive to both locals and foreigners of all ages. The price for egg  coffee is pretty reasonable for a Hanoi street treat; with just 20 000VND  (around one US dollar), you are able to buy yourself a real moment of happiness.

The secret of this hot drink lies in the angelic texture of the egg mixture. Usually, people whisk egg yolk with sugar and a bit of condensed milk until it becomes a rich and shiny yellow paste. Then, the egg mixture is directly poured into the hot coffee for fresh serving. The egg coffee preparation is considered a real beverage. Although all making steps occur just in a short period of time, they require precision and techniques from the skillful hand of the coffee masters.
Just one small sip and you may delightfully say: “It’s my cup of egg coffee!”
