Nipa palm. Had never heard of it until your post. จาก (jàhk)the same word for 'from', or 'away from'...has no relevance at all, but just wanted to share.<br /><br />I reckon those Palm heart puffs would be nice hot with ice cream too :) That house looks wonderful by the way. Is it a typical house down your way? It kind of looks like North American log cabin meets Lanna.Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800305875871746333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132162900834611547.post-76981133216084344112011-09-25T06:56:00.151-07:002011-09-25T06:56:00.151-07:00Keith, I thought it was a lot of work for the frui...Keith, I thought it was a lot of work for the fruit , alto it is a good sideproduct of the plant for roofing material and other uses. thanks for the read and your comment, liked you blog too.<br /><br />Snap, A big yes to no taste at all and really a lot of work for the reward of fruit. I think it is a good novelity fruit if you have visitors for the western world , they like to try different stuff, and yes I really like the fruit and little round cake things made from the Palm heart coconut, a neighbor makes them to sell everyday in the market and at our local high school and I buy for a afternoon snack almost every other day I also love them with coffee in the morning .Thanks for comment.Malcolm and Ciejay Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506597733416959273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132162900834611547.post-33037980627494145642011-09-25T04:22:15.888-07:002011-09-25T04:22:15.888-07:00I've had the same, or very similar, at a marke...I've had the same, or very similar, at a market in Brunei.

I find the different fruits in Asia really interesting. I seem to try a new type of fruit on each trip to Thailand.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594525328732449905noreply@blogger.com
