There are thousands of coffee shops in Hanoi, so which one should you choose?
2
In today's video, I'm here with Thuy, a coffee expert from Virtual Show Coffee.
3
And we're exploring three different coffee shops, from traditional to local to modern to try some of Vietnam's most iconic drinks.
4
The legendary egg coffee, creamy salted coffee, and the famous coconut coffee, which has recently gone viral around the world.
5
Don't forget to hit subscribe to follow this series about Vietnamese coffee on my channel.
6
And now, let's head to our first coffee shop.
7
If you didn't know about this place, you might walk right past it.
8
What's up?
9
We're here.
10
We're here.
11
Where's the coffee?
12
I thought we're going to the coffee shop.
13
Right here.
14
What?
15
Right here.
16
It's behind this clothing store?
17
Yes.
18
Really?
19
Wow.
20
Let's go.
21
Okay.
22
Well, let's go in this alley this side now.
23
To get to Cafe Phô Cô, you actually have to walk through a clothing shop and follow a narrow hallway that feels like stepping into someone's old house.
24
The coffee shop has four floors and it has an amazing view of Huan Kim Lêc on the rooftop.
25
Oh my gosh, a very good exercise here.
26
This is the top floor right?
27
Yes.
28
And I can't believe like within a small area it can
29
lead to like the top of the building where you can
30
see everything yeah you can see the lake yeah oh my
31
gosh wow you can see the post office as well yes
32
and the beautiful lake yes it's peaceful a little rustic
33
and feels like a hidden secret above the busy streets
34
and of course this is a perfect place to try vietnamese
35
famous egg coffee cafe chung it's not easy to make egg coffee right it's a mixture of like condensed milk
36
and then egg and cinnamon but the ratio
37
and then how they make it is a secret so i know
38
that like egg coffee was invented
39
because of the shortage of milk in the past yes is it true yes it's correct
40
so back in the day uh we didn't have enough milk
41
so mr jang the the one that invented the egg coffee he loved coffee
42
so much and then he had a coffee shop in vietnam and then And after so many times tried,
43
then he found out that like the air coffee can be a replacement for the condensed milk.
44
And actually it came out very like a very good coffee and very unique.
45
So how do you drink this?
46
Do you stir it from the bottom to the top?
47
Yes, you stir it from the bottom to the top.
48
Yeah, you do one, two, three times and then you just sip it.
49
It's a little bit like cappuccino but when you sip it, try to drink the coffee at the bottom too.
50
Okay, let's try it.
51
Buttery.
52
And the coffee is quite strong too if you store it from the bottom.
53
Sweet, bitter and very, very rich.
54
Yes, exactly.
55
So the coffee has a very strong aroma of chocolate and brown sugar.
56
And it goes very well with egg and cinnamon.
57
I see.
58
I see that they serve with a kind of tea.
59
What is this and what is it used for?
60
Lotus tea.
61
So it's a expensive way of making tea in Vietnam and also in China.
62
Here they serve lotus tea because it can help you to rinse your mouth after drinking the egg you used to.
63
Ah, I see.
64
Okay.
65
Actually, before filming this video, it was pouring rain outside.
66
So it's a perfect place for us to hide here and drink the egg coffee.
67
And it's pretty loud in here too because it's located in a small alley.
68
So you can hear like the bite is going by.
69
It's Hanoi.
70
Welcome to Hanoi.
71
I feel like you're at home.
72
Before we move on to the next coffee shop, I would like to give a big shout out to our sponsor for today's video.
73
Surfshark VPN Whenever I travel, I use public Wi-Fi, especially at coffee shops because I'm a content creator.
74
It's very convenient but it's not always secure.
75
That's why I always turn on Surfshark VPN.
76
It helps me block all the unwanted ads and it keeps my connection private when I'm checking emails,
77
booking flights, hotels or even uploading the videos.
78
I also like that I can change my virtual location with just one click,
79
which is very useful when certain websites or content are not available where I'm traveling.
80
The best part is that once Surfshark accounts work on all my devices,
81
I can stay connected on both my phone and my laptop wherever I travel.
82
For my dear followers, I ask Surfshark to give you a special deal.
83
Go to surfshark.com to download the app
84
and apply the code PHO at the checkout to enjoy 4
85
extra months of using Surfshark plus they have the 30-day money-back guarantee
86
so there's no risk now let's get back to the video
87
hanoi's coffee scene isn't about tradition some places are reinventing vietnamese coffee in really creative ways
88
which bring us to our next stop refined coffee
89
did you notice good coffee shops are usually hidden behind a clothing shop
90
If Cafe Foco feels nostalgic, we find it feels like the opposite.
91
Minimalist design, clean lines, calm music with a unique menu.
92
It's the kind of coffee shop where people come to slow down and really appreciate the craft behind coffee.
93
So like the first time when he poured the hot coffee in so like the coffee can bloom, right?
94
It's called Blooming.
95
Blooming.
96
Blooming.
97
Wow.
98
Blooming and with the flower thin filter.
99
Yeah, so what I love the most about the coffee culture is that we can use all five senses.
100
You know, like now we can observe, we will be patient and then after that we can taste the coffee.
101
And yeah, we chit chat about coffee.
102
So that's the culture that I really, really like.
103
Wow, I can taste spring summer like tropical fruit in my mouth.
104
Can you tell like what's in it?
105
Yeah, I think it has a very strong like dry apricot flavor
106
and then it has very well balanced between the acidity
107
and the sweetness and it has a really long aftertaste
108
so the more you drink and then there will be like a really sweet at the end of your own.
109
Yes.
110
Here, the star drink is the salted coffee.
111
Cà phê muối.
112
Salted coffee actually originated in the city of Huế,
113
where baristas discovered that a tiny bit of salt could balance the sweetness of condensed milk and enhance the flavor of coffee.
114
When you drink the salted coffee, you just need to have a big sip, okay?
115
So you can taste the foam, the coffee, and the salt here.
116
Alright, let's try.
117
Wow.
118
Wow.
119
So basically the salt is sweet and salty.
120
And then with the foam it's very rich.
121
And the coffee is strong enough.
122
It's not too strong.
123
Yeah, I think it's a perfect combination.
124
Wow, the smell is good.
125
I've been doing this for 5 years.
126
Oh my god.
127
I'm doing this for 5 years.
128
I mean, this is like a brand of brand new brand.
129
It's a brand new brand.
130
It's very delicious.
131
It's very traditional.
132
It's a beautiful love.
133
I love you.
134
I love you.
135
I love you.
136
If you want a non-caffeinated drink, you can choose this drink.
137
This is the traditional herbal Vietnamese tea.
138
It's called Nhân Trần but in the menu it's called Hoa Trần.
139
It has like luxuries in here which makes it very sweet.
140
So when you drink it, you don't taste anything but then like you can smell the herbs in there and then
141
when you swallow it you can feel you can taste the
142
sweetness going down to your throat it's magical wow very refreshing
143
in hot summer days well our last coffee shop is not hidden behind a clothing shop.
144
It's actually located right in front of the most iconic site of Hanoi, the Saint Joseph Cathedral.
145
And this coffee shop is the famous coffee chain called Cậu Cà Phê.
146
When you come here, it feels like stepping back into Vietnam in the 1980s.
147
The interior is filled with military green colors, old radios, vintage posters, and tiny plastic stools.
148
The whole concept was inspired by Vietnam's subsidy period, turning nostalgia into a really unique cafe experience.
149
And we're here for the famous coconut coffee, Cafe Dua.
150
Wow, it's so coconutty and it's so good.
151
Instead of hot coffee, this one is blended with frozen coconut cream and served almost like a coffee smoothie.
152
The coconut layer is creamy and slightly sweet while the strong Vietnamese coffee cuts through it with a bold flavor.
153
It's cold, refreshing and perfect after walking all day in Hanoi.
154
So did you know that the coconut coffee was inspired by the Chan Tien ice cream
155
which is a very famous and traditional Vietnamese ice cream?
156
The ice cream over there?
157
Yes, yes, it's our childhood.
158
Oh, no, I didn't know that.
159
But I know that the coconut coffee, it has become very popular to foreigners in the recent years, especially in Korea.
160
I heard a lot of Korean friends that they travel to Vietnam and then when they came back to Korea, then they want to drink this drink so much.
161
Some of them might to adopt it to their menu in their cafe in Korea.
162
Yes, I agree because I have tried many coconut coffee in many places in Hanoi, but I still think this is one of the best coconut coffees in the capital city of Vietnam.
163
I think maybe they have some secret recipe.
164
Yes, yes.
165
Not just coconut and coffee?
166
Maybe something else, I don't know.
167
Okay, okay.
168
Okay.
169
Okay, so those are the three coffee shops that you should try in Hanoi.
170
And if you have any other recommendations, don't forget to comment down below.
171

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
