Cà Phê Trứng · Hanoi
Ca phe trung is Hanoi's egg coffee: thick, custard-like cream of whisked egg yolk and condensed milk floated on hot Vietnamese coffee, drunk like a tiramisu in a cup at Cafe Giang's alley counter.
Egg coffee was invented at Cafe Giang in 1946 by Nguyen Van Giang, who worked as a bartender at the Metropole Hotel. Milk was scarce during the war years, so he whipped egg yolk with sugar as a substitute. After Mr Giang passed away in 1987, his children took over Cafe Giang at 39 Nguyen Huu Huan. His daughter Mrs Bich opened Cafe Dinh on Dinh Tien Hoang in 1987 with the same recipe.
