🇻🇳 Beanji in Vietnam – Egg Coffee & Hanoi Heat

Hanoi greeted Beanji with scooters, steam, and symphony — the kind of chaos that dances instead of shouts. The air smelled like motor oil, sizzling street meat, and something sweet and unfamiliar. He followed that scent to an alley café, older than time and barely wider than a bicycle.

The barista handed him a tiny glass cup with layers of rich, dark Vietnamese coffee and a golden pillow of whipped egg yolk. Beanji hesitated. Then he sipped.

It was magic. Warm, creamy, caffeinated custard magic. Like a tiramisu that had fallen in love with espresso. He grinned behind the rim. “Cà phê trứng,” she said. Egg coffee.

Later, Beanji joined a group of students by Hoan Kiem Lake. They passed around strong iced coffee — brewed through slow metal filters, dripping dark into glasses of condensed milk. Beanji’s paws twitched with every jolt of sweetness. His sketchbook filled with city scenes and coffee stains.

One morning at dawn, he watched Hanoi awaken from a rooftop — the old city buzzing below. He wasn’t a tourist. Not today. He was part of the rhythm.

Beanji’s Thought:
“In Vietnam, coffee doesn’t wait. It wakes the world with flavor and fire.”
