Chinese Alcohol

Red Star Erguotou - Chinese firewater. Harsh, smells a little like gasoline.

Tiger Beer, Asia Pacific Brewing Co. This version is imported from Singapore. Domestic macrobeer quality at imported microbrew prices. Not worth it.

Both compliments of Steph.

Mama Jok Cup

Nasty rice porridge - like a thin rice gruel. Flecks of parsley, bits of leek, stringy bits of flavorless ginger, chicken flavor. "Non- dairy cream" made with palm kernel oil & other filth. Really awful stuff with a really funny name.
