Best Thai Treats And Snacks

[Celcius]

I feel like I have been missing out one some pretty awesome Thai treats. What are some of your favourite Thai treats, and where can I get them?

[KhunMoo]

Moo/Nua Dad Diaw - sun dried and deep fried pork/beef. It's very very good with beer! (cold beer, with ice cubes.....poured by a pretty Thai girl )

Moo Manaw (Boild pork tenderloin, with garlic/Lime/chilli sauce....also very good as a snack, to accompanion a beer or two.

Those two are my favorite ones, for snacks...

GraJock Moo, available in many markets. Thinly sliced and fried pork. Very meaty and crunchy.

Kanom bar bin, small pancakes with shredded coconut. Stalls everywhere.

Pla Muak chup bairng tot. Squid rings dipped in flour and deep fried, widely available as a Thai bar snack.

The little deep-fried pork fat/skin. Crunchy and great with beer. 20 baht.

Also most excellent for training dogs. No worries they'll run off. Shake the bag when I let mine out to pee in the morning, and they're back in 15 seconds!

Also the Yam Mam-maa. Seafood on noodles with a spicy lime dressing.

Khao Den (however it's spelt) - ข้าวแต๋น

Essentially crispy rice laced with a sugar/caramel sauce - the best ones are made with watermelon juice.

These are very popular in the UK too, called 'scratchings' from my neck of the woods.

Khao Dem - above

Coconut ice cream

Khao Niew with Durian or Mango

Khnom Buurung (look like little tacos) - marshmallow, fai thong, crazy sweet

Sugar cane and lime juice

Lime juice and salt

I do not like jellied cubes, Thai love em.

Going strictly on my observations over the 10 years I have been here, the most popular snack for thais would be the trusted and tried nose bogey, boogers, snot, dried nasal mucus.

Its free, readily available and full of vitamins and most importantly, its real easy to grow.

Second most popular would have to be the old favorite........... ear wax. MMMMMMMMMMMM

This is ridiculously yummy stuff, I have to run from it if it shows up or I will eat and eat.

[eeeya]

I've swapped my love lately from mango sticky rice to durian sticky rice.

That's next level right there

You can't beat this any time---day or night.

What this man says, love these in particular

I also like Muu Yor, like a luncheon meat type sausage to us farang. They sell small 'tubes' in 7/11 which I sometimes partake in when returning back after a few beers. The 'fresh' stuff is also lovely. They also use it in a 'yum' salad too but I can just eat the thing!

I always see these but never tried ... they kind of look sweet, maybe not for me.

Why the taco style look though?

Off topic

It's yellow mango season, 25bht a kilo on the roadside to Mae Rim.

Cheap, cheap, cheap.

Baguette & kapi with warm beer !

[carlspencer]

Sticky rice with deep fried chicken (kai thod), availability is never an issue.

[poanoi]

I can recommend the ice cream with sticky rice, from those bikes with side car and a big round metal container.

Avoid any form of cake, they donno how to make them
