Enjoy fluffy whipped egg dish in the autumn of Hai Duong

From the formula learned in Hanoi's Old Quarter

At 20 Mac Thi Buoi, Pham Ngu Lao Ward (Hai Duong City), there is a small shop selling egg sponge cake with whipped cream that has been around for about 20 years. When mentioning this shop, many people in Hai Duong City immediately recognize it with its familiar dish.

Khanh Thuy shop, associated with the name of Vu Thi Thu Thuy and her husband. In the past, they saw people selling delicious whipped cream eggs but were not shown how to make them, so they went to Hanoi's Old Quarter to eat them and watched how they made them and learned from them.

At home, I had to make the egg beater several times before I got it right. After that, I had to experiment with the recipe for whipped cream until it became the standard recipe that I have used ever since.

Scrambled eggs are a difficult dish to make because if you are not careful, the eggs will smell fishy instead of fragrant. From the stage of choosing the eggs, Mr. Khanh and Mrs. Thuy have to get local chicken eggs from reputable sources. The egg yolks must be separated meticulously, not letting the egg whites mix in. The skillful hands wash the egg yolks over and over again to filter out all the egg whites before putting them in a cup, adding sugar and a few spoons of pure water. The sugar and water measurements are also very meticulous to get the right amount, if the amount is a little off, the taste will be ruined.

When the eggs are almost done, add a little condensed milk to add creaminess and sweetness to your taste, then continue beating until fluffy. According to the shop owner, a cup of finished whipped egg cream should be smooth as cotton, white as cream, have a rich egg aroma, and moderate sweetness.

When it comes to the whipped egg dish on Mac Thi Buoi Street, many adults still remember the old taste.

This shop is still as simple as ever."
