Wai Kru pt.1

( The trance is called khong kheun which I have heard translated as both spirit possession and, more simply, loss of self-control. The belief is that the himmapant (animal spirits, minor gods) spirits embodied in the tattoos take over in times of danger (thus protecting the wearer) and, during the Wai Kru ceremony, come forth as their power is rejuvenated. )
Thai iced beverage
Feb. 11th, 2008 07:01 pmICED COFFEE (gafe yen)
A long cheesecloth filter sits in a tin of hot water atop a steaming hole in the wheelie cart. In it are grounds like flakes, thick and flat. About 3oz. of sweetened condensed milk are scooped into an 8oz. glass cup, topped with another teaspoon of powdered milk, and a teaspoon of sugar. The cup is filled with the strong coffee and the mixture is stirred well. A small plastic bag is filled to the brim with ice and the sweet milky coffee is poured onto it. Finally, evaporated milk tops it all off. Add straw.
Same goes for Tea (cha yen), which is more my bag (ooaf!)
Aroy mak!
