Hanoi’s local art scene blends centuries-old disciplines like traditional lacquer, silk painting, and giấy dó (poonah paper) with bold, multi-disciplinary contemporary practices. The visual landscape centers around the Old Quarter and historic Ba Dinh district, transforming colonial villas and modern industrial spaces into vibrant creative hubs.
Egg Coffee (Cà phê trứng) is Hanoi’s most famous culinary specialty, blending intense Vietnamese Robusta coffee with a rich, meringue-like egg cream.
Here is everything you need to know about this legendary drink:
The Historical Origin
-
- The Era: Invented in the 1940s during the French colonial period.
- The Creator: Mr. Nguyen Van Giang, a bartender at the luxury Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi hotel.
- The Reason: Due to a severe shortage of fresh milk during the war, he used whisked egg yolks as a creative substitute to replicate the texture of a cappuccino.
Ingredients & Preparation
-
- The Base: Strong, dark brewed Vietnamese Robusta coffee beans.
- The Topping: Fresh chicken egg yolks, condensed milk, and sugar whipped until soft, fluffy, and creamy.
- The Serving: The cup is placed in a bowl of hot water to keep the egg cream warm, thick, and completely free of any fishy taste.
