Cafe Trung (Egg Coffee)

The creator of the egg cafe is Mr. Nguyen Van Giang. He was a talented chef at the Metropole Hotel. The reason for the egg cafe's birth was very simple. The cappuccino was a delicious French drink at the time, but not many Vietnamese had enough money to drink. Mr. Giang is very concerned about a delicious and attractive beverage that is still affordable to Vietnamese people.

By the end of 1946, the idea of ​​cafe with egg was born successfully. However, Hanoi egg cafe at that time was not as famous as today. Few people also know because of the limitations of media and equipment and egg whisking technology has not been developed as it is now.

It was not until 1990 that egg coffee was popular. Also because of the rising economy and the introduction of the egg whisk has increased diners' satisfaction. Along with that, the development of the press has made egg cafe, from a popular dish gradually becoming a specialty of the Capital.
