Do uong cua Viet Nam so mot!! re va ngon!
"Beverages of Vietnam are number one! Cheap and Tasty!!
... is the title of this blog...
So refreshing! I know I’m always going on about the alcoholism in this country.. but really that’s completely overshadowed by Vietnams effort for tasty refreshing beverages. The alcoholic drinks are kinda average… the wine is just rice wine style rocket fuel, its quite and nice musky with snake blood, but that’s very expensive. Hanoi beer is nice with ice or on its own and Saigon beer is a nice clear option for a hot day.
But no. Viet Nams true genius comes with its inventive range of non alcoholic numbers!! They are delish (delicious) and they are VERY cheap!!
I will talk about a daily staple of mine.. first is the sua chua đánh đá (yoghurt mixed with ice).
The yoghurt here is a little runnier, and much less sour than European or greek style yogurt. You just mix it in a glass with ice, and a slice of lime. The weather is so hot, the ice melts quite quickly and you have a yummy sloppy yoghurt drink - Perfect for soothing those nasty carbon monoxide burns at the back of your throat!
I usually drink my favorite coffee while waiting for the đá to melt in my sua chua đánh đá. My absolute summer time favorite coffee in the morning is… Café Sua da. It is served in a variety of ways.. pictured below is my favorite way.

As you can see, it’s a layered drink. At the bottom is a thick, oozy puddle of sweetened condensed milk, the black stuff in the middle is obviously coffee, its drip brewed, then chilled and then poured onto the milk. The ice floats in the coffee froth on top. (you might notice how grotty my face is in this pic above.. more on that later).
The next step with this tasty beverage, is to make it look like the pic on the left.. that is.. stir it all up with a spoon.. then you drink it .. I'll publish some more on summer drinks a little later.
