Chinese Herbal Medicine (Eatable 3/10)

 

 

As soon as you set foot in the city, you'll be hit by the pungent smell of Chinese herbal medicine wafting from the many street side stands. There's no polite way to put it, this stuff stinks. The medicine is stuffed with up to twenty herbs, as well as mysterious pills and powders which are all boiled down and served in espresso sized portions. It's best to take the frat party approach to the concoction and get it down in one, as the smell can make you gag. The taste itself is fairly benign. There are many different liquids, all aimed at fixing some part of your internal organs.
