Egg Coffee Hanoi Definition

Egg Coffee as it's name, it is the combination of sugar, condensed milk and special thing: egg yolks whisked in. It might be hard to imagine, but strangely enough the egg yolks actually start tasting like soft and creamy meringue in your coffee, even though meringue is made of egg whites… somehow it just works?!
