Get the Boatmug. 
Used to announce the arrival of fresh, hot fried rice, usually just off a ship or cooking line. A way to signal something amazing, steamy, and worth dropping everything for.
Origin – The Chronicles of Steam and Salt (circa 603 CE)
Legend holds that during the reign of Emperor Gǔ Tán of the Jade Coast, the empire faced a culinary famine. The emperor, a devout lover of wok-fried rice, decreed that no grain of mediocre rice shall be served within the palace walls.
He summoned the Seven Rice Alchemists, legendary chefs who sailed eastward in gilded boats to find the perfect grain, seasoned wind, and wok flame. After three lunar cycles, they returned—bearing not just rare spices and golden grains, but vats of fried rice so fragrant, the emperor wept into his beard.
As the boats docked, steam rose like incense, and the people cried:
“Fresh off the boat!”
(“Rice from the boat, heaven’s aroma descends.”)
The phrase passed into legend, later used by dock workers, food smugglers, and ravenous poets whenever something too good to be local came in hot.
Fun Fact:
During a 1986 noodle festival in Macau, a fried rice vendor was fined for yelling “Fresh off the boat!” too many times during a single hour. It was later ruled a protected phrase by the Culinary Heritage Bureau.
