Vietnamese Coffee

[chengj]

Does anyone happen to know where you can buy Vietnamese coffee (actual beans) in Calgary?

[n1zm0]

i've seen em in my parent's pantry in a bag, but i'll go out and guess T&T? the last time i had viet coffee me and my brother decided to try our parent's slow drip, ohh man were we cracked on caffeine for half the day, strong shit that ca phe sua da, the only way i can handle that shit now is with milk and ice.

The T&T on 36th didn't have it. I'll have to check the north store.

Or do your parents mind if I raid their pantry? :)

slow drip with condensed milk and ice ftw


if its concentrated like my dad drinks it than WOW strong but good

[chengj]

Yeah, my co-worker had a bag actually from Vietnam, and now I might be addicted. :)

nha trang market over on 28th street / memorial has it. You can buy it packaged (I believe the brand is Trung Nguyen) or they have it bulk as well. The Trung Nguyen brand ones MIGHT already have been ground down, so just double check before you buy it.

It's a lil whole in the wall place. :)

My wife bought me the brewer that sits ontop of the glass for my birthday...and it's my favourite present ever. I was buying like 3 of them a day at one point. I love it.

If you're ever down in the states should pick up some of Lee's Sandwich special blend coffee. It's pretty tastey and addictive hahaha.

yea i have one of those. Takes forever to make one cup of coffee, but it's so good.

You can just use a good espresso bean or you can get the red, white and green can one from superstore, i think the name is megaldi or something like that. If you ever need a fix and are by a starbucks try their double shot on ice its not on their menu anymore but they will still make it for you, it tastes like a ca phe sua da.

^no it's special from the rest, maybe its the agent orange the yankees accidentally 'dropped' during the war.. no bad joke j/k

Yup that is the brand. I remembered I had some in the pantry. I bought the package....so good I am going to have one.

IN a pinch I will use Ionia Sicilian Espresso Coffee.

Speaking of condensed milk, that would sure taste good on some bread :thumbsup: Nammer style

Just go to any supermarket and get french dark roast. I personally think its just as good, if not better.

condensed milk and peanut butter sandwich FTMFW

You know what .. just put dome condensed milk into regular instant coffee .. (make it strong)

It will taste almost the same.

I have couple bags of viet coffer (from Vietnam) and couple bags of coffee from panama .. with condensed milk ... they taste almost the same! :thumbsup:
