A Coffee Can for You (76 of 77): Cafe Trung Nguyen.

I got this can a month or two ago when I went to go hear some jazz at an old club north of downtown that's near the Vietnamese neighborhood:


I love the translation on the back:


It seems like one of those Asian-English things where Asian people try to write higher-register English in product descriptions or advertisements or whatever and don't have a native speaker check it out (though this is grammatically correct and correctly spelled, of course).

The coffee had something syrup-y sweet mixed into it, too, so there was an oily film on the top of every cup, and it was all I could do to drink it every morning without throwing up.

I had a friend named Trung Nguyen in the 6th grade in Texas.
