kenk3z Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 In having an E-Mail conversation with a nice Thai friend, she says she has a "lum-yai" garden. We were able to both understand "potato" but I am lost on what lum-yai is..... Google is a wonderful thing, so I wonder if this is correct? http://www.geocities.com/lovebirdie85/Fruity.htm Thanks, kenk3z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Yes, that's "Lum Yai" ลำไย. (Mai ma lai, not Mai moo-an with Yai. Lost of Thais also tend to misspell.) I love "Num Lum Yai" (Lum yai juice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Lum Yai is a small round fruit, brown in colour. Sometimes called Longan in the translation books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johpa Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 T'is the lamyai season as we speak. Price is so low that many small orchards are not bothering to harvets the fruit. It is always called longan when translated into English on cans. Best eaten fresh after chilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
