I found Mongolian food to be very tasty. We had a nice variety of protein (mostly lamb) and vegetables, although you won’t be served a lot of fruit as it is not readily available. You would be surprised how dairy products are a big part of the Mongolian diet. Curds and yogurt were available daily during breakfast along with a variety of food that appealed to western palates. I believe the tea your friend is referring to is Sueetei Tsai. “Suu” means milk and “Tsai” is tea. It is a tea that consists of milk, salt, green tea and water. I wouldn’t call it the best tea I’ve ever had, but it was, as your friend says, interesting.

A couple of my friends who visited told me that they had a special tea they served that was…interesting.
