Egg coffee Hanoi is a Vietnamese specialty coffee drink that is made with beaten eggs and brewed coffee, combined to create a creamy, frothy mixture.

It is popular in Vietnam, especially in Hanoi, and is considered a traditional breakfast drink.
History of egg coffee Hanoi
Egg coffee Hanoi was created in the 1940s in Hanoi, Vietnam, as a result of a shortage of fresh milk during wartime. A local bartender named Nguyen Van Giang came up with the idea of using eggs to create a creamy, frothy texture in coffee. He whisked the eggs and sugar together, added the mixture to strong coffee, and the first egg coffee was born. It quickly became popular and is now a staple of Vietnamese coffee culture. Egg coffee can now be found in coffee shops throughout Vietnam and has gained popularity in other countries as well.
