When we had sore throat, my mother would fill a drinking straw with this powder and blew the powder onto the tonsils. There was a bitter but cooling effect on the tonsils.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-24557254265238633642008-11-11T19:00:00.000+08:002008-11-11T19:00:00.000+08:00I think we still have the clay version of your pot...I think we still have the clay version of your pot in our house.

I dread the day when I had to drink this for good health. <BR/><BR/>The Chinese medicine shop usually sells "sim buay" coated with a yellow powder. When I managed to finish 1 Chinese soup bowl, not the small bowl but the BIG soup bowl, I quickly looked for the "sim buay". No wonder I am still addicted to chinese titbits like "red kana", "Kat Chye", Cham Pei Mui", "Sim Buay powder" that goes with my star fruit/pear after dinner, "San Char". MY favorite joint to purchase these titbits in 1/2Kg packaging is at the Rochore Wholesale Center. The stall-keeper (Aunty and Uncle) knows me very well because I seem to be the only male customer among the old ladies.<BR/><BR/>BTW do you know what happens to a man who eats plenty of salty and sourish titbits? Some say got extra energy!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
