Torneyboy Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Nam Aoy. Not sure about the spelling of this in English. It is a drink. Went today to a suburb full of Thais and Vietnamese...my wifes sisters husband knew we were going and asked us to bring back a few cups of this drink. Sweet and a yellow color. I think my wife is saying it is palm sugar??..but only? Sold by Thais in this suburb but not available in the city/chinatown/thainatown parts of the city :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 It's sugar-cane juice. It's quite a good pick-me-up due to the high natural (as opposed to refined) sugar content. In my experience it works very well against hangovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to see it in Brisie now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 hi big fella, the best place in bris for that kind of stuff is around Darra/ and inala, plenty of viet (mainly chinese viet) shops around there. On a side note ...i'll give you a call in around new years for a beer in pattaya if you are allowed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a couple of hippies in a converted with a juicer jigged up to a bicycle at Griffith Uni a few times I think they did the market circut as well. Haven't been in Brisvegas for 5-6 years.
