coffee in Vietnam
[Music]
oh my God
[Music]
never come to Vietnam you're going to
find yourself in a situation where
you'll be surrounded by a ton of people
drinking coffee because in Vietnam
coffee is everything one of the biggest
exporters in the world second to Brazil
and people here absolutely love love
coffee without further Ado let's go try
a first coffee for today
[Music]
good
as you can see kind of behind me right
there that is the mysterious faucet that
comes out of the ground with boiling hot
water that makes this coffee so
absolutely special so where the water
comes from I don't know but we're pretty
close to The Saigon River so
[Music]
I think that's not a new camera right
now I have no idea 360 cameras to watch
this boom it's 360 right now and uh
frankly I do not know how I look maybe a
little bit distorted but today I'm not
going to be getting any uh coffee with
ice but this is also very difficult so
this is no coffee with ice right here
but there are lots of coffee for me
today so go kit Cafe
now okay generally speaking when it
comes to Coffee I always drink black
coffee and when I say black coffee that
means no milk and no sugar but black
coffee in Vietnam means there's no milk
and they'll put sugar I don't want my
coffee sweet
wrong but not as sweet though there's
sometimes a lot sweeter my name
is
the older gentleman with me 92 years old
as I mentioned earlier people love to
sit on the streets and drink coffee
[Music]
[Applause]
hi finish your coffee now we are going
to be getting some coffee in the I don't
even know what you would say but a very
common way of making coffee and tonight
I'm not going to be sleeping because
I've had too much caffeine but let's go
so yeah
I need to bring the glass back though
okay so
means let me show you right now
squat because we got these little chairs
right here so these are kind of like
outside coffee where you drink outside
and you sit in these tiny chairs where
you sit like a frog
text me in the comments if that is
correct I'm not sure but I heard from a
little bird the cameraman uh what that
means that's what he said so I'm just
translating that we're waiting for a
waitress to come I think it's waitress
what do you call it the Barista the
waitress Barista I forgot my English is
not so good anymore oh Mecca I see them
coming
foreign
[Music]
right here we have a black coffee and as
you guys can see it is dripping right
now this is a really popular type of
coffee style in Vietnam however this is
personally my least favorite coffee
style also in Vietnam and let me explain
why I might get a little bit of hate in
the comment sections for this but hear
me out so first off I know in Vietnam
when people drink coffee they like to
take their sweet time drinking the
coffee and this right now is dripping
but it's dripping a little faster than
usual
wanted to drip really fast I want all my
coffee immediately and instantly
issue I have because I need that
that times I know it's mixed with
something where it's either like flour
or some sort of other ingredient so when
you taste it it's thick but there's not
much caffeine I know people like to say
coffee in Vietnam is so strong
yes but it's not strong enough for me
because of my caffeine tolerance and I
need a lot and oftentimes when I get one
cup of coffee in Vietnam it doesn't do
me anything especially in the morning I
need two three something like this in
the morning I might need four or five or
six because it's just not that strong
for me simple black coffee no milk no
sugar this is how I like my coffees I
know I'm boring I know but I need that
caffeine kick I need to wake up let's
give it a shot black coffee
[Music]
yeah so this it's like an espresso
pretty much for me one espresso is not
enough so I would have to get many of
these
so with coffee in Vietnam it was
originally introduced in the 1800s and
it's today I mentioned early on in the
video Vietnam is the second biggest
export of coffee in the world and I
believe hang Wing is the number one
growing area in Vietnam but if you were
to go to that black you'll see a lot of
coffee plants and you even have my house
so I have a coffee plant one of them did
die but I'll show you guys a quick
Glimpse but it hasn't produced any fruit
or coffee bean I know earlier I said
sometimes it will be mixed but this one
it tastes legit and it is strong I like
it this is how I drink my coffee no milk
no sugar black coffee nice and strong
might need a little bit more than this
but this is my go-to here in Vietnam
[Music]
now that we had our black coffee we are
going to be trying the best tasting
coffee in Vietnam and it's made with an
egg I'll see you guys at the next
location in a split second like this
last but not least you guys we have the
famous egg coffee in Vietnam right now
we're debating I'm gonna put everybody
on camera because they're being super
shy everybody
we're still discussing it
they officially picked somebody who's
gonna be on the video and it's going to
be sukkah she's very shy right now but
Suka are you ready
cupcake whatever
no Jewel not yet no yo yo yo don't worry
so the coffee here is famous it's called
yo coffee
uh I'm kidding it's on your coffee okay
here is quite famous so we'll get the
coffee and then uh
good okay we got good good good good
okay yeah come on all right Sam we we
ordered and uh we just said cut so that
means we're done
[Music]
so as you guys can see we do have the
egg coffee so the ingredients for the
egg coffee is egg of course we have
condensed milk sugar and then coffee
traditionally though egg coffee was
introduced in Vietnam you could say by
the French but the thing is when the
French were occupying Vietnam milk was a
luxury item so people didn't have milk
coffee what they did instead for the
Vietnamese is they invented the egg
coffee and today it's quite famous if
you probably go on a lot of reviews
about like the best coffee in the world
I am sure Vietnamese coffee will be
mentioned depends on the research that
they conduct but it is definitely going
to be up there
foreign
so if you're wondering why does
Starbucks fail in Vietnam well there is
actually Starbucks in Vietnam but the
thing is coffee is such a big part of
the culture here you can literally walk
three steps outside and you're gonna
have a coffee shop and with Starbucks
it's extremely expensive oftentimes
you'll see people go to Starbucks just
to take a selfie and then post it on
Facebook so when it comes to the
atmosphere of a lot of coffee shops in
Vietnam I can't even describe to you how
bizarre and crazy beautiful eccentric
some of them are Starbucks it's quite
boring so why Starbucks is not
successful in Vietnam that's my opinion
um you may disagree but that's what I
think delicious delicious coffee
oh my God
okay
nice creamy tip right there
whoa
that's really good actually it's like a
fluffy creamy sweetness inside I'm gonna
put this down because uh I'm not gonna
eat it don't worry the food is not gonna
go to waste you guys definitely not
gonna go to waste damn
that's really sweet that's good
foreign
[Music]
coffee in Vietnam is a definite must try
if you come out here and don't try
coffee you're going to be missing out on
life and come to a random coffee shop

coffee milk coffee egg coffee I don't
