I like
crab. I like
winter melon. And it makes a good soup. In
Chinese medicine, they believe in
heat of the body, and overheating is bad. Some foods have lots of heat (e.g. fried foods), some cool you down (e.g.
coke,
tea,
rice, etc.) This is rumored to be very good for your
health, but I have doubts about the degree of truth in
Chinese medicine. But I drink it after a
meal, because it tastes good. I eat the
crab afterwards.
