Sala syrup is a sweet, flavored syrup made from or flavored with sala or salak fruit, which is commonly known as "snake fruit" due to its reddish-brown scaly skin. The sala fruit comes from the salak palm and is native to Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like Thailand and Indonesia.
Sala syrup is particularly popular in Thailand, where it is used to add a sweet, fruity flavor to drinks and desserts. It has a bright red color and a distinct, tropical taste that is both sweet and slightly tangy, with hints of strawberry and apple-like flavors. The syrup is often mixed into Thai iced drinks, desserts, or shaved ice treats, such as nom yen.
