Vietnamese Egg Coffee

[MildAvers]

Has anyone made or tried Vietnamese Egg Coffee?

It seems to be made with egg yolk, sweetened condensed milk and coffee.

Seems like it would be a real treat.

We drink the vietnamese iced coffee often. Same as linked minus the egg.

Another staple in our house is Malaysian Kopi. Comprised of Nescafe instant and condensed milk to taste. Often referred to as White coffee.

Yeah, I have had the egg [yolk] coffee when in Vietnam; it was quite tasty! It was a little creamy, rich, lightly sweetened, and I'd have another

We made it at the cafe I owned in Danang (though it's a Hanoi specialty). It's good, but not something I'd want to drink every day.

Coconut coffee, on the other hand...

Yeah I had coconut coffee while in Danang at one of the Vietcong chain shops. It was tasty if not too coconut-y.

Are all coconut coffees iced? I forget, but I got an iced one (right of the two). I forget what my wife got...just a plain old iced coffee, I think.

The way we made it was by blending ice, coconut flesh, coconut water, and condensed milk to make a sorbet, then pouring a double espresso shot over top (we used 100% high-end Vietnamese arabica).

I think a lot of the cheaper cafes just use ice, condensed milk, and coconut flavoring.

Ours ended up looking like this.

Mine was like that albeit surely not as nice/tasty.

Oh, even the cheap ones are very tasty!
