Alcoholics Anonymous


Red Wine Mee Suah
Swiped from J2Kfm.
Brunei is quite an alcohol-free country. I don't see alcohol being sold openly. If you bring it in from outside, you'll have to declare it at customs. The other day, my colleague ordered chicken soup mee suah. The boss immediate put on a shady look, tapped him on the shoulder and whispered:

"Pssst. Wanna add wine or not?"

Goodness. From the way he was asking, I thought he was offering porn DVDs or China Doll blowjobs! So poor thing kan?

@Twi:
You MUST bring your own! In the few months there, my colleagues finished around $2000 worth of whiskey.

@Hdaran:
Who knows, perhaps they drink it like water in the privacy of their own homes. Hehe.

@SkyH:
Have to make own fun.

@Grat:
LOL.

@JJ:
The sight of people consuming alcohol causes you distress?

@-Alex-:
Haha. Is alcohol that important in cooking?

@Medie:
Well, people in Malaysia also pray to Allah ma... or you're suggesting something else? :P
