OK. I'm a dumb American... What is Congee and what does it do?
Tanko, they have this thing called Google. You just put the word in that you want to know more about and then click the search button. It shows you all sorts of articles explaining what it is including showing pictures! Hell, you could even find a few recipes with this search thing.

:D

I don't need google. I have Fly.

Besides I doubt Google tells me why people in SEA eat it when they are sick.

No, po, what is crazy is that you can walk into a pharmacy here and get anything you want no script. When you go the pharmacy to ask them for medicine when you are sick, they all act like doctors and load you up on a ton of medicine. When you go to the Dr here their answer is antibiotics for everything and that is not good to do.

During a massive military parade in Beijing, China just unveiled its new secret weapon: the LY-1 laser system. According to reports, this thing is the most powerful laser in the world, capable of shooting down any and all missiles and drones out of the sky.

China 🇨🇳 should be feared as the 2nd most powerful country in the world.

Best Sauces from Asia 2025: A Taste of Tradition

TasteAtlas has unveiled its ranking of the Best Sauces from Asia 2025. At the very top is Toum (Lebanon) with an impressive 4.6 rating, a creamy garlic sauce beloved across Middle Eastern kitchens.

Close behind are Gaeng (Thailand) and Yúxiāng (China), both earning 4.5 stars. Gaeng, Thailand’s aromatic curry paste, remains a staple in the bustling street food scene of Bangkok, while Yúxiāng, a fragrant Sichuan sauce, highlights the fiery character of Chengdu’s cuisine.

Sharing the spotlight with 4.4 ratings are Mala Sauce (China), celebrated in hot pot culture, and Nước chấm (Vietnam), the fish sauce-based dip that gives vibrancy to daily meals in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Southeast Asia features strongly in this list, with sauces like Sambal Terasi and Sambal Tomat (Indonesia), Nam Phrik Phao (Thailand), and Pecel (Indonesia) cementing the region’s reputation for bold, spicy flavors. From the hawker stalls of Jakarta to the night markets of Chiang Mai, these sauces are more than condiments they are cultural identities served on a plate.

With their unique combinations of spice, heat, and tradition, the top five sauces highlight how Asia’s culinary capitals continue to shape global tastes.

You should try it, po. When you're sick, you don't want to eat, but try Congee and you will love it. Congee, then medicine if necessary, at least there's already food in your stomach.
