Muoi Tieu?! Guess And Win!
October 25, 2009 | 11:24 pm ShareAs obscene as this might sound in Cantonese, it’s actually a very common thing around Vietnam!
“You want Tieu?”
“Yes I want Tieu!… Oh wait, no no, Muoi Tieu!!”
“You want Tieu or not???”
“Muoi Tieu!!”
Now make a guess what Muoi Tieu is! If you get it right and I’ll post you a gift of Vietnamese small coffee-maker and a packet of Mocha coffee powder!


I’ve just came back from Vietnam today, and as much as I would love to tell you more about it, I don’t know where to start! There’s so much about Vietnam that I would love to share with you, and I guess it’ll take some time to sort them out.
So instead, I’m going to give you the coffee set that I bought from Vietnam if you guessed what’s these two things correctly. Make a wild guess! Leave your answers as a comment below!
Question: What is Muoi and Tieu??
Deadline: 30th Oct 2009 6.00pm (+8 UTC)
Nuh-uh, no asking Mr Google!
If you made the correct answer I will give it to you definitely, but if nobody gets it right I will look for the most creative answer. Remember to leave an answer for each! What is Muoi and what is Tieu, separately! And if oh-so-many people get it right (darn!), I will write all of your names down to draw lots to see who’s the lucky one.
So make as many guesses as you want, and ask your friends to join as well! I want to see what you can make out of Tieu… and Muoi Tieu!

Lei Gao Geng Oi Tieu Mou?? Muoi Tieu!! (cantonese)
What is Muoi Tieu?? Yup, they are two different things, and they come in pairs. You can have one of them at a time though. So you can Tieu all you want.
This game is open to everyone across the globe. I don’t care who you are or where you are, as long as you get it right, I will post the gift to you!
The lucky winner will be announced on this blog and contacted personally through email. So be sure to leave your email address when you leave your answer!
Nevertheless, Grey is back, so Caramelz.my is back too! Stay tuned for more Vietnam stories, and in the meantime, make your guess!
