My Favorite Khanom

[sbk]

Mine is little dough balls of sticky rice flour mixed with water, wrapped around a small piece of palm sugar, then boiled and rolled in fresh coconut. The palm sugar melts inside the dumpling like ball and bursts in your mouth when you eat it.

Whats your favorite Thai sweets and do you know how to make them?

[surayu]

Khai Nok Kada.......sorry about the spelling and also their clones made with that sort of white thai potato. They are basically small fried balls, the first probably made with flour and eggs, while the second use that potato, but i never asked detailed informations about them, all i knows, everytime i go to the village's market i buy lots of them and i appreciate their taste...and even more importantly, i don't get sick after i eat them

love that coconut jelly in the banana leaves at the markets

[Goinghomesoon]

I like those too SBK. I also like Thong Yip (the golden honey/syrup balls).

Most of all I really, really love Khanom Krok, the white snacks shaped like half a ping-pong ball that are cooked in a hot dimpled pan. I don't like them with corn though, only plain.

The kind of pudding, sold in square tin boxes on the trains and along the road BKK-Surat, I cannot remember the name

[PoorSucker]

Semi dried pork.

No fan of sugar...

And durian of course.

What about sticky rice with bananas and steamed inside a banana leaf? That one is quite yummy although I don't like it with the black beans mixed into the sticky rice.

I think it is khanom Morkaeng, the famous khanom of Phetchaburi province.

Me too!

I recently bought a pan to make khanom krok, and unlike Goinghomesoon, I lke them with corn, scallions, or loads of other toppings.

I love khanom morkaeng too, and recycle the tins for making small brownies and carrot cakes.

A tip we've had for making Khanom Krok is to use "Sper-rite" in the batter mix.
