How is it made?

According to Hoa, it is made with ice cold beer topped with creamy egg yolks whipped with sugar and a touch of butter to boost richness. Media report says that to keep up with demand, the cafe cracks 1,000 eggs every morning to be beaten by machine throughout the day. The interesting version of egg was first created by Hoa’s father in 1946 as an affordable alternative to the cappuccinos sipped by French colonial occupiers.
