Egg Coffee is Hanoi’s unique liquid dessert. It was invented during the French War when milk was scarce, and a local bartender used whisked egg yolks as a substitute. The result is a thick, custard-like foam served over intense Vietnamese robusta coffee. Order it as **"Cà Phê Trứng"**; specify if you want it **"Nóng"** (Hot) or **"Đá"** (Iced). The trap is "Egg Coffee" at a generic tourist cafe where the foam is too fishy or thin; a real egg coffee should be as rich as tiramisu and have no metallic egg aftertaste. Expect to pay 35,000–60,000 VND.
