This is not like the \u2018average coffee\u2019 I was told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I consider myself a coffee drinker, I am impartial to a latte over an espresso and some may argue that a latte isn\u2019t a real coffee, but that is a debate for another day. Today, however shines the spotlight on Vietnamese coffee, otherwise known as c\u00e0 ph\u00ea \u0111\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This certainly was not the first time I had tried as c\u00e0 ph\u00ea \u0111\u00e1 while in Vietnam<\/a>, but previous coffee breaks had been in a resort or modern caf\u00e9.

TV\u2019s blare from houses where men are gathered around to watch the Italian A league game and children run up to say hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
