3. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will try to answer you

Any questions so far? no? I hope that we have a great day! Let's go

Built in the late 19th century, the house originally belonged to a wealthy merchant’s family. Back then, Hanoi was a thriving trade hub, and the narrow, deep “tube houses” were designed to maximize space in the crowded city. The house is long, with multiple rooms connected by a peaceful courtyard, where sunlight filters in and a small garden thrives. This courtyard was not just for beauty—it helped keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Over time, the house changed hands many times. By 1954, after Vietnam’s independence from French colonial rule, it became home to several families at once. For decades, its wooden beams and tiled floors carried the weight of generations.

In 1999, with support from France, the house was carefully restored to its original design, preserving its antique furniture, wooden carvings, and traditional Vietnamese charm. Today, it is open to visitors who want to step back in time and experience life in old Hanoi.

This house was built in the 19th century 1890 to be exact , when Ma May street was a crowded place for merchants. Through many historical changes, the house still stands firm, as a living witness of Hanoi in its golden age. 

Located on Ma May street, Hoàn Kiếm district, which used to be a neighborhood of Chinese (phố người Hoa cũ hàng buồm) and Vietnamese merchants, the house has the typical architectural style of old Hanoi tube houses: a narrow but deep facade, with a skylight in the middle for light and ventilation. 

Why is it called Mã Mây?...

The name Ma May is also associated with the history of the old quarter. In the old days, this place was home to shops selling horse saddles (Mã) and rattan and bamboo weaving establishments (Mây).  Although these two professions have faded away, the name Ma May still exists as a mark of the past. Ma May ancient house exists today not only to preserve its architectural value but also to remind future generations of an elegant, quiet Hanoi of the past. That is why it was restored in 1999 and opened to visitors, becoming a must-see destination when exploring Hanoi's Old Quarter.

Coffee is a beverage that's familiar to all of us, but have you ever thought about combining coffee with eggs? Sounds strange, right? But in Vietnam, that’s very special coffee attracting the attention of people from all over the world.

The story behind egg coffee started in the 1940s when a bartender in Hanoi- Mr Giảng created a unique coffee to serve customers. Back then, fresh milk was scarce. Instead of milk, he came up with a creamy egg foam, when mixed with strong coffee, created a rich and smooth flavor. And that's how egg coffee was born.

Not far from the market is the Ma May Ancient House, a well-preserved traditional house built in the 1880s. Originally owned by a merchant family, the house showcases the typical architecture of old Hanoi, with a narrow facade, wooden interiors, and an open courtyard. In 1999, it was restored as part of a collaboration between Vietnam and France to preserve the city’s cultural heritage. Now, it serves as a cultural site where visitors can experience the daily life of Hanoians in the past.

A trip to the Old Quarter would not be complete without enjoying egg coffee one of Vietnam’s most famous beverages. Coffee was introduced to Vietnam by the French in the 19th century, and over time, the Vietnamese developed their own unique brewing methods. Egg coffee was created in Hanoi in the 1940s by Nguyen Van Giang, a bartender who used whipped egg yolk as a substitute for milk during its shortage. This creamy and rich coffee, which tastes like a coffee-flavored custard, has now become a symbol of Hanoi’s creativity and coffee culture.

With its vibrant markets, well-preserved historical sites, and unique culinary creations, Hanoi’s Old Quarter is a must-visit destination for those who want to explore the soul of Vietnam.

Ok, This street included 2 different kinds of streets: Hang Ma street and Hang May street. In the Old Quarter, there are totally 36 streets. Almost streets were named according to the stuff that all the people on that street sold in the past. For example, all the people on a street sold chicken, they named the street to be chicken street. And Ma means horse, the second meaning is fake stuff and paper gold, paper money. May means clouds, the second meaning is a plant to make baskets. Then people connected 2 street into 1. it was named Ma May street. Behind me, this is one of the ancient houses was preserved as an attraction for tourists coming to explore the life of VIetnamese people in the past. You wil know how Vietnamese people lived in the past without electricity, fridges or any toothpaste.

OK, the second place is one of 14 the last heritage houses in Hanoi. Do you know which? Oh, this house was built in 1890 in Ma May Street. Speaking few things about this street. Many years ago, Hanoi had 2 Street including Hang Ma Street and Hang May Street. However, in order to manage residents, goverment decided to add these streets and we have Ma May Street from this to now. This house has experienced many owners and now it has become a famous tourist destination in Hanoi, it's Ma May heritage house

2. Egg Coffee shop

And the final place, are you curious about it? Yes, it's a drink which is familiar with you. I think you've been drinking it, but today we can use it with Vietnamese way. Yes, this drink is derived from Ethiopia and why it can appear in VN? The French went it to my hometown in 19th century. And over many years, Vietnamese people have created egg coffee.

Do you know who brought coffee to Vietnam? The French

The French grew coffee in the North of Vietnam first. Then, they moved gradually to the West and the South. Because the weather and the soil are suitable for the coffee trees.

There are 3 kinds of coffee: Robusta, Arabica and Liberica.

Robusta: Bitter and strong => Vietnam is the country exporting Robusta the most in the World.

Arabica: (Pour over): Sour, Bitter => Brazil is the country exporting Arabica the most in the World.

Because robusta is strong and bitter. Therefore, Vietnamese people tried to mix with other ingredients when drinking coffee like condense milk, coconut, salt, and so on.

There was a man who work for Metropole Hotel in Hanoi. That's the first 5-star hotel in Hanoi. At that time, milk or coconut were rare and expensive because we were under the French war. Vietnam is a tropical country. Agriculture was our main field. We had a lot of chicken with rice. That man tried to mix the egg yolk to make egg cream. That's the place he invented/created egg coffee.

We are standing on a busy street in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. This is 87 Mã Mây, a very old house from 1890. It is one of the last 14 old houses in Hanoi. Here, you can see how people in Hanoi lived a long time ago.

The name Mã Mây comes from two old streets: Hàng Mã and Hàng Mây. These streets were big markets in the past. The house has a traditional design, with three main rooms. These rooms are separated by small yards and a skylight. The skylight brings light and fresh air into the house.

Now, let's go inside and see more about this special place!

Ok , our first stop is dong xuan market , one of the biggest whole market in HaNoi. It is Not only it famous for its size but also well known for it special French architecture. And do you guys wonder why it is a Vietnam local market but have French design? This is because The french built this in 1889 during French colonial period. Beside, This place was undergone a battle between The french and hanoi citizen in 1947. After the war, it still a iconic local trade for more than a century because you can find anything in this market

“Alright everyone, let’s take a little coffee break—but not just any coffee… we’re about to try Vietnam’s most legendary drink: egg coffee!”

At coffee shop, there will be coffee performance which demonstrated by the bartender. While coffee are being processed , the staff will tell us a little story about eggcoffee and may be if you want , you could make a coffee cup for yourself

But first, let me give you the backstory.

Coffee was first introduced to Vietnam by the French in the mid-19th century during the colonial period. They brought it as part of their European lifestyle—and thankfully, it stuck! Today, Vietnam is actually one of the biggest coffee producers in the world, especially known for robusta beans, which have a stronger, more bitter kick than the smoother arabica you might be used to.
