The Allure of Tonkin Egg Coffee’s Signature Drink
Discover the unique charm of Vietnamese egg coffee at Tonkin. Each cup combines rich, robust coffee with a silky, creamy topping, offering a one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates both flavor and tradition.
A Taste of Tradition – Vietnamese Egg Coffee
Egg coffee, or “cà phê trứng,” is a beverage that embodies the ingenuity and artistry of Vietnamese coffee culture. Originating in Hanoi during the 1940s, it was created as a creative response to milk shortages, using whisked egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk to form a creamy topping over strong black coffee.
At Tonkin Egg Coffee, this timeless recipe is elevated with meticulous preparation. Fresh egg yolks are whipped to perfection, creating a velvety foam that floats atop robust Vietnamese coffee. The result is a harmony of bold bitterness and smooth sweetness, offering a texture and flavor unlike any other drink in the world.
Quality Ingredients for Unmatched Flavor
What sets Tonkin Egg Coffee apart is its uncompromising commitment to quality. The coffee is brewed from carefully selected beans, roasted to enhance their natural richness and aroma. Eggs are sourced fresh daily, ensuring the topping maintains its signature creaminess without any hint of heaviness. Sweetened condensed milk is chosen for its purity and balanced sweetness, blending seamlessly into the drink. Served in charming ceramic cups, the presentation is as delightful as the taste, making it not only a treat for the palate but also a feast for the eyes.
