mssabai Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I am driving myself nuts by trying to find out what is in this drink. It is served in all cha yen shops and has a flavour similar to camp coffee essence. It isn't kaffe yen (or koppi yen as they call it here in Trang). I have tried searching google, and no joy. even my boyfriend has no idea what is in it! Can anybody help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agent69 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 oliang is what I've always heard it called, it is coffee with corn and soybeans ground in with the coffee. Yep, sometimes with roasted sesame seeds too. It's like half coffee beans & half other beans or seeds. Probably originated from the fact that coffee beans were expensive. Mixing with other cheaper beans & seeds might have cut some cost. But turn out it tastes kind of better than coffee. LOL, that's my opinion.

sbk Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Probably very similar to the chicory flavored coffee that was used for centuries and popularized in the US as New Orleans style coffee. And, as far as I am aware, Oliang is not the same thing as cafe yen without milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbunny Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Probably very similar to the chicory flavored coffee that was used for centuries and popularized in the US as New Orleans style coffee. And, as far as I am aware, Oliang is not the same thing as cafe yen without milk. It is the same. You start with the same thai coffee mix. I've been making it for my husband for 30 years........One difference could be when making the gafae yen is that you can start with oliang and add evaporated milk, half and half (if it were available), or cream......most vendors use evaporated milk. The other way is to leave the sugar out of the oliang and just add sweetened condensed milk....which some vendors use also. Usually the vendors that make a big batch of oliang use the evap. milk, the others that make it when you order it tend to use sweetened condensed milk. The vendor that now supplies my husband with his daily fix uses the regular oliang and just adds carnation evaporated milk. Beachbunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccheroncini Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 In the older days โอเลี้ยง or oh-líang is usually made of some roasted coffee beans and roasted tamarins seeds, that's what I heard. Just like ice coffee without milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mssabai Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Also here in Trang you can order chaa orliang and caffe orlinag (black versions of tea and coffee) or straight orliang. Probably just weird Trang slang... Never seen orliang served with milk though I am sure you could if you wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
