I don't have a sweet tooth, but I do love it with the Vietnamese
coffee. It's quite a strong, bitter coffee because they use Robusta
beans. It compliments it so well and gives it a thick consistency.
They also do a version with egg yolk, which may sound bizarre but is
also delicious.

LOL, yes. It's probably the strongest coffee I've ever had. But it
tastes so damned good. 1 cup is enough, when I have two I'm buzzing
for a couple of hours.
