Vietnamese Coffee

DSC_3613
You will realize how important is coffee to Vietnamese when you are walking on their street.
There are coffee stalls everywhere, in every street, and anytime there are customers siting on the small chair and enjoy the coffee, from 6Am to 12PM.

My first try of Vietnamese coffee is “OMG~ that is toooo sweet”, however this is how Vietnamese coffee taste like.

Despite of the “too sweet”, the Vietnamese coffee has their own taste that you can never find in other kinds of coffee, regardless is $0.80 food court coffee or $8 Starbucks coffee.

To share with those KOPI KAKI(coffee gangs) in my family, I bought half a KG of the Vietnamese coffee, that comes with the free stainless steal coffee filter.This cost me 160,000 VND.

When I decided to make the coffee myself, I realized that I don’t know how to do it, not a big deal, lets STFG

Found this youtube clip, that demos how to make the coffee with milk.

Of course for Long Black, just need the sugar instead of the milk.

Tried the coffee just now, for half cup of the coffee, with 2 tea spoon of coffee powder & 2 tea spoon of sugar(yes, 2 tea spoon) , feel like too light, however the taste quite similar with what I had in Vietnam. Will put in 3 tea spoon of coffee powder on my next try.

Packing for Vietnam trip

My flight to Vietnam is tomorrow 7:15, and I don’t even start to pack anything yet.
OMG thats sound so wrong, did I even get excited of it?

It is not me, usually I start to plan what to bring, what to do(yeah, at least plan) few days before go for travel, seems am I so busy or just dam lazy to start that.

It gives me no choice now, got to “work hard” to pack the stuff now, however shouldnt be much things to bring, I should be carrying back much more things from Vietnam, with my full-filled stomach~~

lalala, now I getting excited of Vietnam.

Pho Bo,  Ca phe sua da, Fanny, here I come~~~
