Vietnamese street cafe opens in Braddon for four days
Monster Phin & Street Bites is launching a Vietnamese-style footpath cafe pop-up in Braddon on 14, 15, 21 and 22 November.
Cà Phê Bệt will set up low plastic stools outside the cafe on Batman Street, recreating the street-side coffee culture of Vietnam and Southeast Asia. The word bệt means sitting low to the ground, a key part of Vietnamese street life.
Visitors can order Vietnamese coffee including egg coffee with whipped custard, salted coffee and condensed-milk iced coffee. Snacks include bánh flan, fried fish balls and rice-paper rolls.
The pop-up also features Vietnamese jacks, plaster painting, cup decorating and a fortune-stick draw with vouchers and prizes. The cafe opened earlier this year and has built a strong following around Vietnamese coffee traditions still uncommon in Canberra.
