Tsingtao: A Favourite Thing : Out of Asia (646 words)

I first fell in love on a sultry, exotic Asian evening. We flirted pensively for a few moments as beads of sweat formed on my brow and the solitary fan spluttered on trying to stir the still air. Mosquitoes homed in on my leg and the locals stared on with brooding impassivity as I lifted the green bottle to my lips for the first time. Perhaps it was merely the ambience of the moment-a backstreet bar in Beijing, dimly lit by the neon lights intermittently flickering above-but for Tsingtao and I it was definitely love at first sip.

Dear Reader, If there's two things that i love more than indian food and indian beer, then it's chinese food and chinese beer. The best chinese beer by a mile must be tsingtao. It goes well with everything from the takeaway, and can be bought from asda (or just about anywhere in chinatown) If you fancy looking as if you know what you're doing at a chinese reataurant, then give this a try. you won't be disappointed. One problem though. It only comes in pathetic less-than-half-a-pint bottles, never mind... every silver lining has a cloud! Thanks For reading A quick update: i was asked if i knew how much this beer ... Read the complete review

When I go out for a Chinese or an Oriental meal I need a long refreshing drink to go with it. Wine just doesn't work. It doesn't refresh you and there is never enough of it! The obvious alternative is to have a longer more refreshing drink. If we were sensible we would probably go for water or a non-alcoholic drink but, if you are like me when a meal out always includes a wee alcoholic drinkie, then lager or beer is the ideal solution. While visiting my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Aberdeen (The Saigon, and yes I have written an op about it!) a few days ago, I consumed one or two of my favourite Oriental beer Tsingtao hence this op! ...
