Namie Amuro gets wild for Coca Cola from YeinJee's Asian Journal

The concept is going to get some backslash for sure. Belfare, Washington, is the first township barring these sexpresso’s stands from business… I guess it’s just a matter of time before other places following their suit.

It’s probably not a problem if one or two coffee stands are getting sexier, but it’s obviously inappropriate when it’s becoming a trend. Imagine having a sexpresso stand at every corner of the streets… that would be like heaven kinda disturbing.

I have to be honest though… if I’m in US, I won’t mind at all to visit one of these coffee stands; and I could become a regular customer if their coffee doesn’t sux. Sex sells… and it almost never failed.

Didn’t manage to drip the coffee myself when I was in Hanoi in July 2008; the cafe I visited served the well-prepared drink instead (pic).

My sister who tried some coffee in Hanoi prior to my visit told me that Vietnamese coffee was stronger than common espresso… can’t agree on that, at least not with the one I had. A decent glass of coffee though… smooth, thick and rich.

It was at a restaurant called Kangaroo Café, which also runs some short tours around Vietnam. I was there to book a trip to Halong Bay initially, but couldn’t find the right schedule. However, after spending two hours walking under the sun, I kinda need a break… and the air-con and cold beer seemed a bit too hard to resist.

Hence, my first meal in Vietnam… a peppered chicken chop, some chips, salad, and a Bia Hanoi (Hanoi beer). Decent food and reasonably priced.

Japanese love eating eels, I can understand that… as I love their Unagi dish too. But an eel-drink? That’s like… Eerrrwwwwww??

Japanese Tobacco Inc is mass producing the canned drink called Unagi Nobori (surging eel) just ahead of Japan’s annual eel-eating season.

The fizzy, yellow-coloured drink contains extracts from the head and bones of the fish and loaded with vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E. [via Mainichi]

The drink is said to be tasting like boiled eel, and cost 140 yen (~USD1.30) per bottle.

It reminds me of the cucumber drink which Pepsi introduced last summer… but in terms of bizarreness, the eel drink triumph by miles.

Aquafina is currently distributed in only a few countries… the USA, Canada, India, Pakistan, Turkey and Vietnam. In case you are wondering… it taste like water, yada.

I wonder how it would taste like… a vegetable juice or Pepsi soda with cucumber flavour? Doubt that I would fancy it either way; it’s not like I have any chance to try it anyway lol.
