Food and beverages
The food served in Kyrgyzstan is typically based on rice and meat, although the vegetables and salads on offer are very varied. If you travel around, you’ll have a chance to experience local cuisines of the region that often cross-pollinate with the different cultures that have existed and changed over the years.
Regarding alcohol, the options are typically limited to vodka or beer so anyone wanting something different, like Scotch or Gin for example – can buy it duty free and bring it out. Mixers like tonic water are hard to come by in Central Asia.
