Soda sữa hột gà, also known as egg soda, or Bird's Nest Drink is a sweet drink made from egg yolk, sweetened condensed milk, and club soda. The beverage is of Vietnamese origin, though it is also consumed in Cambodia. The drink is made simply by a chemical reaction where the carbonation in the club soda "cooks" the egg so to speak and leaves it fizzy and blended with the other ingredients. It is often sold at Vietnamese supermarkets, or other Asian markets and comes in a can. There are variations of this drink, made with different eggs but most commonly used is a quail egg.

Soda sữa hột gà shares some similarities with egg cream, a fountain beverage of New York City origin, though egg cream contains no eggs, and no historical link between the two has been proposed.
