From the love and desire to spread the knowledge of Nam O fish sauce village and products to everyone, Mr. Bui Thanh Phu (40 years old, residing in Hoa Hiep Nam ward, Lien Chieu district, Da Nang city) created the unique Nam O fish sauce coffee.

Fish sauce coffee is made from roasted ground coffee, topped with a layer of creamy cream. The special thing about this drink is the fish sauce sprinkled on top of the creamy cream, which is concentrated from Nam O fish sauce - a traditional fish sauce brewed from anchovies from Nam O fishing village.

"The highlight of fish sauce coffee is the fish sauce powder. The way to make fish sauce powder is very simple, just concentrate Nam O fish sauce over medium heat, when the fish sauce dries into powder, it can be sprinkled on coffee," Mr. Phu shared.

Made from seemingly unrelated ingredients, this drink brings a special flavor, stimulating the taste buds with the bitter taste of coffee, the richness of cream mixed with the mild, salty aroma of fish sauce.

The idea of ​​creating fish sauce coffee came from the fact that Mr. Phu's family's production facility regularly supplies fish sauce to coffee production units to soften the bitter, astringent taste of coffee.

From then on, Mr. Phu nurtured the idea of ​​creating a new drink associated with the traditional products of his hometown. From the conception stage to the final cup of fish sauce coffee, it took him and his colleagues more than six months.

"Coffee factories use my Nam O fish sauce to reduce the bitterness and astringency. I thought why not use fish sauce powder to balance the taste, because in principle, fish sauce has a mild salty taste, balancing the sourness and astringency of coffee better than other ingredients.

From there, my friends and I started to explore and create fish sauce coffee. This is also the way we approach different customer groups, attract and help tourists better understand the fish sauce of Nam O village," Phu shared.

Fish sauce coffee has the sweet, mild flavor of Nam O fish sauce. It is not just a drink but also contains the love and passion of those who are devoted to the traditional craft village of their homeland.
