Quán Xưa introduces unique dishes from all three regions, paired with various infused liquors, resembling a health elixir. The Imperial Elixir of Minh Mang is hailed as a grand comprehensive tonic, beloved by many here.
Throughout history, I've always believed that consuming alcohol is detrimental to health, regardless of the type. Hence, I strictly forbid my husband from going out for drinks. Surprisingly, he still manages to sneak away occasionally.
Accompanying the Husband on a Drinking Expedition
Last time, I had no clue how those old folks schemed, insisting wives must join their gathering. With household chores piling up, leaving the kids and home unattended just to tag along seemed absurd. Grandpa dropped off our child at his parents' place, promising to take care of everything, so I reluctantly agreed. I was curious why the old folks were so eager for this boozing spree.

The Old Tavern is a familiar drinking spot for many
Grandpa brought me to The Old Tavern near Ngoc Khanh Lake, a place they've frequented for 15-16 years. It's a cherished spot where Grandpa and his comrades have countless memories. I've visited a few times, from the days of courtship to the early years of parenting when going out became a luxury.
It's been a while since my last visit, yet The Old Tavern is still bustling. I had no idea why the old folks kept teasing me relentlessly. Later, I discovered they felt I kept a tight leash on my husband. Their motive? To invite him for a 'ideological mission,' as losing one leg of the 'tea table' (referring to the quartet of friends) would dampen the joy.

There are various premium liquors, with Imperial liquor being a favorite
Personally, I can't handle tea wine; I'm more of a spectator. The dishes at The Old Tavern remain diverse and delicious as ever, though occasionally I have to play the role of the alcohol police, limiting my husband. Yet, the old folks chime in, advising that in other households, wives encourage their husbands to drink more. If not, they question why the resistance in this home.
Because the old folks indulge in Imperial Liquor, a medicinal wine dating back 200 years to the reign of King Minh Mang. They jest that consuming this elixir leads to 'one healthy person, two cheerful souls,' leaving your face flushed and warm.

Not only is the liquor exquisite, but the prey is also enticing
Certainly claiming ignorance and resorting to tricks is one way to go. But who claims that alcohol is beneficial for health? There's a constant call to limit alcohol consumption; no one says it's good. Nevertheless, my curiosity led me to search online to see if this particular liquor had any merits.
Surprising Marvels of the Imperial Elixir of Minh Mang Liquor
Back home, while my husband diligently cleaned the house, I casually Googled away. To my surprise, it aligned perfectly with what the old folks were saying. According to my research, the Imperial Elixir of Minh Mang liquor, which the elders indulge in, indeed has various remarkable benefits.

Imperial Elixir of Minh Mang is considered a grand revitalizing panacea
From boosting nerves, nourishing the kidneys and male vitality, to strengthening muscles and bones... This liquor is even believed to treat ailments like eternal youth, poor virility, and enhance longevity. Truly miraculous.
According to my research, this isn't just any liquor; it's hailed as the 'grand revitalizing panacea.' Renowned in Hue, it traces back to the era of Minh Mang. Distilled from glutinous rice, it's infused with traditional herbs and medicinal concoctions.

This liquor was once exclusively served at the feasts of King Minh Mang
Although the original prescriptions from the Imperial Court's physicians are lost to history, the essence of those remedies, meticulously documented by the ancient healers, has endured to this day.
Two centuries ago, this type of liquor was exclusively reserved for the royal banquets of King Minh Mang. Legend has it that King Minh Mang's numerous offspring were partly a result of consuming this nourishing elixir.

Even today, it remains beloved for its myriad benefits
It does have various benefits, no wonder the old folks are so enamored with it. Every week, they gather at The Old Tavern for a casual drink. Fortunately, the liquor here is house-brewed, providing a certain level of reassurance. The elders are moderate drinkers, enjoying each other's company without ever reaching the point of excess.
However, moderation is key; excessive indulgence can lead to adverse effects. Plus, I only trust the liquor at The Old Tavern near Ngoc Khanh; elsewhere, I'm hesitant. Even now, if I don't hear my husband requesting a night out occasionally, I might have to subtly remind him.
