        <description><![CDATA[<p>Thankfully the office is now stocked with coffee...</p>
<p>It should be noted that the body's vitamin C absorbtion is limited by the intake of caffeine - so there's no point eating a mandarin orange after your coffee. :-o</p>

<p>After I came to China, I discovered that Nescafe was more tasty than I had thought before, at least, the instant coffee (速溶咖啡, su4 rong2 ka1 fei1) is much better than one served at KFC (肯德基, ken3 de2 ji1).</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi <strong>changye</strong></p>
<p>I agree, I have nothing against the taste of Nescafe. But I was drinking too much of it, just to get high.</p>
<p>In Shanghai, the best cup of coffee you can get at a restaurant is probably 85度-- 85 degrees, a Taiwanese chain store. Anyway, at 8 yuan for a cup, it's got the best 性价比 x&igrave;ngji&agrave;bǐ -- price performance.</p>
<p>And here's my gripe about the otherwise lovely Mr. Donut-- they never put real milk in the coffee. They just helpfully steer you to the little tubs of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">rat milk</span> er, Coffee Mate.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>My coffee habits only changed slightly in China. Here I can only choose from 2 Senseo brands in stead of 20+ back home *sigh*. If we run out of Senseo (sometime Metro's supply chain is a bit random) i'm a Nescafe girl. Btw, the best coffee in Nanjing is available at an Italian restaurant (owner from Napoli!) and we think it is similar to what you get in Italy. I really don't know why expats get a hardship allowance ;-).</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi pete,</p>
<p><em>at 8 yuan for a cup</em></p>
<p>Not so bad! A cup of coffee at KFC is 5 yuan here in a small city in northeast China (中国东北), but its taste is worse than Nescafe (雀巢). If you want to have a <em>real</em> coffee, it would cost you more than 40 yuan, which is an extravagant price for the standard of living here. Incidentally, I recently use packed milk (牛奶) instead of Coffee Mate (咖啡伴侣, ban4 lv3) at home. I think it's more tasty. I love <strong>melamine</strong>, haha.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>omg,how can you love melamine?</p>
<p>I like the liquid milk, it's much less dangerous than the milk powder</p>]]></description>
