This drink/snack for my dish of the day is made with pieces of the sugar palm fruit, which is grown throughout Indochina, especially Cambodia
(and apparently in this region of Vietnam too!)
On our drive to Go Cap Van (Golden Scorpion
Lake), Patrick and I saw lots of streetside vendors chopping and selling some
type of wood-like looking “thing”. It turned
out to be edible – in fact, it was a fruit! The inside fruit is a white (almost
clear) colour and is slightly chewy. The texture reminds me of a lychee or a
mangosteen. They served it in the fruit
liquid over ice with a bit of sugar and stirred it around. Voila! It doesn’t look like much, but it was
a great snack – refreshing, chewy deliciousness!
