"The pig died, but the rest is good" 😂

German bf just coming up with some dark but funny stuff:
“Oh the pig dead, it had a traffic accident”

I did take a barista course in the past at a Vietnamese culinary school, and the instructor told me that to sterilize eggs, you can boil them for around 30s-1m in 70-degree-Celsius water, which is hot enough to kill the bacteria, esp. salmonella, without cooking the eggs. Then crack it open, and it would be safe to use the egg yolk for your egg coffee now.
Updated: FYI the context I used is in Vietnam, not a first world’s country, so extra carefulness is reasonable. The risk of salmonella infection is posed when you crack the eggshells: the bacteria may infect the inner matter, especially if you separate the egg yolk by transferring it back and forth between the two halves of the cracked open shell. So pasteurizing the outer surface becomes necessary. How about the pathogens that exist inside the eggs before cracking? That’s your own risk to take when deciding to have raw eggs then.

The funny thing about a German rating Vietnamese coffee is that East Germany paid Vietnam to ramp up its coffee production, and that is one of the main reasons why Vietnam is the second biggest producer of coffee today.

The peach tea looks lovely. I would eat all the fruit first. 😂

"I made with a lot of love" "10 out of 10"❤😂

About the egg coffee: It's required that chickens get vaccinated against salmonella in Germany (plus there's some additional safeguards), so while raw egg is never 100% safe, the likelihood that you get sick from them here is very, very low ^^

I loved this video, and i thought it was really sweet that GB rated the green tea so high because it comes with conversation.

[ColorJoyLynnH]

I love how he takes your mother’s feelings into consideration. What a good guy.

Great video.
btw. eggs in Germany are very safe. The little chicken and later laying hens are vaccinated against salmonella after birth. In addition, according to poultry hygiene regulations, salmonella tests must be carried out on laying hens at least every 15 weeks, normally 8 weeks between tests.

Oh, just wanted to add that coconut coffee is just another level. They blend coconut cream (not water) with ice to make it slushy, like ice cream, and then add filter coffee so it's mix of coffee bitterness and coconut sweetness. Amazing. 100/10

Uyen: says she's going to make vegan corn milk

Also Uyen: puts condensed milk in it 😂

[damn]

Im genuinely happy for all her success. Her energy is very light and you can tell she really enjoys what she do. Unlike many of these tik tok influencers who force a personality on camera

I remember first time seeing her videos when she only had like 10, 000 followers. Now she has 2.2 million. Congrats!!!

The words you were looking for was corn cob, and when you used the bag to separate the liquid that is usually called "straining" (verb). So "strain it to separate the liquid and solids". Or the object you use can be called a "strainer", or commonly in america we use a "cheese cloth" for this task of separating fine particles from liquid!

[sabrinagranger]

Uyen if you want the egg coffee without risk of salmonella, you can whisk the egg yolk over a double boiler: It's a very traditional technique used for making creams, foams, etc. The egg yolk whips into a nice foam but the heat from the steam warms it to a safe temperature.

[suecampbell]

"It's good that you give our audience, uh, pretty authentic knowledge..." has to be the funniest and truest jab. Thank you German Boyfriend! (How is it that Uyen has never slipped and said your name?)

[emilyr]

as a nailtech I must comment a sidenote that Uyen's nails look extra pretty with this design. SHe always chooses well, but this one looks incredible

[MichikoHoshi]

I love your videos. They feel so authentic and homely. You're like an older Vietnamese sister sharing your culture and experience with us viewers.

[alfalfa]

That squeezable condensed milk!!! I have got to find that somewhere, that would change my life

[aiyarost]

I had egg coffee once when i visit Vietnam, Da Nang and honestly it's so good! It's so sweet and creamy i couldn't believe that's an egg in it. My dad not a huge fan of coffee but he thought about egg coffee when we miss Vietnam.

Your green tea is only bitter because you make it with boiling water - the recommended temperature is 70° for green tea and 100° (boiling) for black tea.
I don't have a fancy temperature controlled kettle, so when I'm making green tea I just switch it off before it boils (listen for the sound changing) or let the water cool down before pouring.

Boba (or bubble) tea has become quite popular in the UK, especially amongst the younger generations, so you should be able to find some to try if you come here. The fruity ones are the most popular, but I think you can get milk tea too.

Some vocab that you were struggling with (please comment any I've missed):
- the actual corn pieces are called kernels
- the middle bit of the corn is the cob
- the whole thing served as it comes (usually without the leaves) we'd call corn on the cob
- getting bits out of liquid using a cloth or mesh is straining
- getting bits or lumps out of dry ingredients (like flour) is sifting

Hope that's helpful 😊
