"Khaw Eh Rngiew" and "Khaw Eh Khaw Shan" are a handful of rice grains given by a mother (or any member of the family) to a son or daughter (or anyone else in the family) who is about to embark on a journey, so that everything goes well without any problems. These rice grains serve as symbolic sustenance against hunger and thirst, protection from harm or ill-will and when chewed (some say only three grains) fear and apprehension (even shock from an accident) fade away.
"Khaw Eh Rngiew" and "Khaw Eh Khaw Shan" imply the rice grains bless the one who possesses them with the strengthening of their essence/ personhood/ nature, preventing any misfortune that may befall them.
