They say it is not good to give out other people’s secrets and “fish places”, but it’s a sin to keep such a place a secret! Although, on the other hand, it is what is mostly local and “dedicated” who know about it and makes it even more special. Although what I am saying, this stunning coffee dessert on the yolks makes it special! Such a delicious make only in Giang cafe in Hanoi since 1946.

No, coffee with yolks is served in many places in Hanoi. The entire center is full of signs of coffee shops, sidewalks lined with tables. But only in this old time battered house prepare such a divine dessert with incomparable taste! He hides deep in the courtyard, without Kolya, we would never even have thought to turn in such a doorway.
Small old tables, worn wooden stools, a couple of oil paintings on the walls with peeling paint and flowers in huge pots. Everything is smoked by time and stories. Sitting down under a fan, iced local cold iced coffee through a straw, but there are a couple of “dedicated gringos.” We sneaked a photo in order not to disturb their peace …
Coffee is served in a small coffee cup, but not on a saucer, but in another cup with more hot water. As they explained to us, the temperature of this water is important.
You gently scoop the dessert spoonful of thick, thick coffee from the bottom of the cup and wrap it in a delicate airy yolk foam, which is magnificently seated on the top of the cup. And you are in captivity of the sweet dope. The taste is incomparable: sweet tender yolk foam with a sharp bitter coffee.
