- Cà Zone - Nguyễn Trãi - We begin at Ca Zone Cafe, a newly-opened cafe located inside a vintage residential apartment in Ho Chi Minh City. The reason we’re visiting this cafe is first and foremost witness and understand what a “Cafe Apartment” (a big part of Vietnamese cafe culture) is as well as its origin, how it has shared cafe culture in Vietnam as well as its future. This is also where we will taste different types of Vietnamese coffee - Hue Salted Foam Coffee, Egg Coffee from Hanoi as well Lemon Coffee. Here, I share about the different types of coffee and their origins as well as why new cafes nowadays aim to modernise these age-old recipes and how they’re doing it. We end with understanding the importance of Robusta Coffee (Vietnam’s main coffee bean type since it’s the world’s largest exporter of Robusta Coffee) and how it’s changing.
