History and origin of egg coffee

In the 1940s, when sugar and milk prices skyrocketed, Mr. Giang - the founder of Giang Cafe in Hanoi - switched to using egg yolks, combined with the secrets learned from the Metropole Hotel and the appeal of cappuccino to create the famous egg coffee. That clever substitution created a unique golden cream layer on a rich, bitter coffee base, interwoven with the rich, fatty taste of eggs and the subtle sweetness of honey. Served in small cups and kept warm with a bowl of hot water, Vietnamese egg coffee offers an emotional and seductive experience, according to the Michelin Guide.
