- Hello, have you made your choice? - Not yet. I have a question for you: I didn't find sushi on your menu... - We don't serve sushi sir, this is a Chinese restaurant, not Japanese. - Oh, I'm sorry! What an idiot! I'm going to have fried shrimps and egg fried rice please. - Very good, and what would you like to drink with that? - I don't know if you have Tiger beer? - Yes, of course! - So, I would like a Tiger beer, and a shot of huangjiu to digest!

I'll be right with you...
