Rượu đế
''Rượu đế'' is a distilled liquor from Vietnam, made of either glutinous or non-glutinous rice. It was formerly made illegally and is thus similar to moonshine. It is most typical of the Mekong Delta region of southwestern Vietnam (its equivalent in northern Vietnam is called ''rượu quốc lủi''). Its strength varies, but is typically 40 percent alcohol by volume. It is usually clear, and a bit cloudy in appearance. Etymology The term ''rượu đế'' literally means "''đế'' (''Kans grass'') liquor." This name is explained by the fact that in Cochinchina (southern Vietnam) during the early period of French colonization, the imperialist government had a monopoly on alcohol production, and the only distilled alcoholic beverage the general population could legally purchase was ''rượu Công Ty'' (literally "Company alcohol"; also known as ''rượu Ty''). Those who paid a special fee were given a sign emblazoned with the letters "RA" (an abbreviation for "Régie d'Al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cơm Rượu
''Cơm rượu'' () also known as ''rượu nếp cái'' is a traditional Vietnamese dessert from Southern Vietnam, made from glutinous rice. To prepare ''cơm rượu'', glutinous rice is cooked, mixed with yeast, and rolled into small balls. The balls are served in a slightly alcoholic milky, white liquid which is essentially a form of rice wine, and which also contains small amounts of sugar and salt. The dish is eaten with a spoon.
