During this second half of 2018, brown sugar drinks suddenly become trending internationally and nationally due to its sharp taste and mesmerizing look.

Basically, what is brown sugar? In Cambodia, brown sugar can be referred to two things:

• “Palm sugar”: because they are naturally brown and “palm” is synonymous to “brown” in Khmer language
• Some café do not use pure palm sugar though. When stating “brown sugar”, they may refer to a combination of white sugar and molasses (brown syrup) creating the color “brown”.

Nonetheless, both of the two things are equally popular among public, hence we will suggest five cafés you can find this so-called “brown sugar”.
