The 1st time i had egg coffee was during my visit to Vietnam. Vietnam known for their delicious iced coffee and a must try when you visit Vietnam. During our 9 days visit we had tons of their iced coffee even at night. You can coffee selling shops or carts in every nook of the country and Vietnamese enjoy their coffee all the time. Group of people sitting in low bench and enjoying a pot of coffee is a mere sight in Vietnam.
Egg coffee are famous in Hanoi but we found a simple small coffee shop cramped in Ho Chi Min city and two lovely young girls running the shop as their part time work. We choose to sit near the kitchen to watch how exactly they prepare the egg coffee and both the girls are friendly enough to make you feel at home. The coffee was served in bowl of hot water and my perception of egg coffee changed in a very first sip. I was worried about the eggy smell but to my surprise there's no a single hint of eggy smell and the coffee are rich and creamy just like a cup of foamy cappuccino. I simply love the coffee and decided to make it at home upon return and this is the result.
