FAQ:

How many calories are in Vietnamese coffee?

A regular cup of coffee from Vietnam has about 129kcal. But this depends on how much coffee and sweetened condensed milk is added.

It is strong because the coffee grounds slowly drip into the cup instead of a quickened brew. This makes the coffee stronger than any other type of coffee.
