Cooling Tea


A very popular thing here is to drink "leurng cha" 凉茶. It is to fix having ??, which is a superstitious ailment (for lack of better words) that Chinese people believe you get from eating too many "hot foods" such as deep fried foods and ginger.
There are places that are just an open shop where you can just walk up to the counter and drink from a bowl set out, covered by a glass circlet. You drink from the bowl and pay your fare. So easy!
But drinking it is hard. The taste is pretty bitter and unpleasant. There's a special kind called 24味 (like the card game!) which is extra unpleasant!
