MIXED RICE PAPER SNACKS "LEVEL UP" TO BECOME A SENSATIONAL DRINK AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE
This drink is intriguing due to its unique combination of tea, mixed rice paper salad, and toppings like mango, quail eggs, shrimp salt, etc. Many people enjoy this novel flavor, but there are also many who express concerns about its safety.
This unique and unusual drink has become incredibly popular recently.
Mixed rice paper tea, also known as "Auntie Tam's Mixed Rice Paper Tea," was created by Bong Tim and a friend who co-founded the cafe to add to their summer drink menu.
After the shop posted a video announcing the new item, many people were extremely curious as to why and how the shop came up with such a "bizarre" drink, followed by debates about the safety of consuming this tea.
Inspired by the familiar mixed rice paper salad stalls on the streets of Saigon, this drink will contain all the same ingredients as a bag of mixed rice paper salad.
The ingredients are similar to those in mixed rice paper salad.
The restaurant also finds ways to combine savory toppings with drinks harmoniously, including quail eggs, an ingredient that can have a fishy taste if not properly prepared.
According to information shared by the owner on social media, the flavor of the mixed rice paper tea is sweet and sour, with a subtle aroma of kumquat and Vietnamese coriander. The sauce paired with the tea is also a special fruit sauce made by the shop, creating the distinctive aftertaste of this drink.
A combination that is addictive but carries many potential risks.
Theoretically, the combination of tea and mixed rice paper salad could pose some health risks. Not all foods can be mixed together because they may clash, produce toxins, and silently damage the liver, kidneys, and digestive system.
Combining tea with other ingredients, especially in mixed rice paper salad, can affect the quality of the tea and be harmful to health. For example, tannic acid in tea leaves can inhibit the absorption of nutrients from other ingredients in mixed rice paper salad.
The combination of these ingredients raises many questions about food safety.
Mixed rice paper salad is often made from ingredients that do not meet food safety and hygiene standards, posing a risk of food poisoning. The harmful effects of certain toppings, such as mango and quail eggs, can also be a health hazard if not properly stored and prepared.
However, it's important to note that these are only potential risks. In reality, the safety of mixed rice paper tea depends on many other factors, such as the quality of the ingredients. If all ingredients meet food safety and hygiene standards, the potential risks will be minimized. Similarly, if the mixed rice paper tea is prepared correctly and hygienically, it will also contribute to minimizing potential risks. It's especially important to note that people with sensitive digestive systems may be more susceptible to the effects of mixed rice paper tea than those with healthy digestive systems.
Despite the owner's explanation, most social media users remain skeptical about the safety of this "strange" drink, given the numerous reports suggesting that mixed rice paper tea is not a safe or ideal combination!
