Hanoi Egg Coffee WorkshopEgg coffee for the grown-ups, egg cacao for the kids
Egg coffee was born in Hanoi, and here you learn to make it. Whisk egg yolk and condensed milk into a thick, sweet cream, pour it over strong phin coffee, then try a coconut coffee too. The kids make egg cacao, so everyone has their own cup.
