Why you must eat itDeep in an alley, up a flight of stairs, a cup is served in a narrow second-floor room. Over strongly dripped Vietnamese coffee floats a cream of whipped egg yolk and condensed milk. The surface is pale gold; break it with a spoon and it is custard-sweet, while the coffee beneath is bitter and hot. Sweet and bitter enter the mouth in their layers, best drunk before they fully mix. Cup the small glass in both hands and take your time, the alley's clamor below the window.
Egg coffee is a Hanoi-born drink topped with egg-yolk cream, and this shop is known as its origin. It sits deep in an alley with a small sign. There are hot and iced versions; the hot brings out the cream's aroma. Prices and hours are a guide, and the seats are tight, so sharing a table is common. It is quite sweet, suited to after a meal or a rest.
