Never seen either the tinned or packet varieties of custard, however, if I make something like a steamed sponge pudding, I use this recipe:

Much better than any ready made 'brand'.

Schmidt has bakers custard mix - just add water & stir, this is designed to set hard so add extra cream to stop the setting. If not I would be suprised if Villa or Central doesnt have one of these or similar

[billd766]

If you have a Villa or Foodland down there it should be stocked probably in the home baking area.

I bought Birds in Villa in BKK at 99 baht for a 300 gram container.

I live in Khampaeng Phet so if I visit the "big city" I make up a shopping list for the very hard to get items.

[LivinginKata]

Yes, Villa should have it. Chalong, Patong, or Laguna branches ( should be open now).

There is a Thai brand custard powder that I buy, cheap (300g/30 Baht) and perfectly good.

Has the brand Winner's Custard Powder in English printed in red on a clear plastic bag, along with some Thai script that I assume says the same?

......or make your own it is only cornflour + vanilla flavouring + yellow coloring.

From a Thai centric supermarket/wholesaler in central Issan.

These " custard " powders, are corn starch with flavouring and colouring. Easy enough to replicate if you really want to eat flavoured Starch .

Try to make a true custard with milk, cream and eggs, not difficult and most certainly worth it, and you'll never crave the Bird's sh.t again.

Sounds easy--- can you supply me the quantities and do you omit the vanilla-----hope so as cannot buy it here-------- Dougal

The problem with that is getting the right type of rice to make it with.

You are in thailand, and you want Ambrosia custard,

[pagallim]

You are in thailand, and you want Ambrosia custard,

So what's the problem with that?

I'm not sure where these arguments are coming from that if you live in a certain country, you should adopt an eating regime of all things relevant to a local lifestyle. Why? For most western originated expats, there's a balance of adopting local customs and retaining personal heritage and preference.

As many of us delight in some Thai dishes, so many (no, all) of our Thai friends delight in sampling particularly sweet dishes that I sometimes make, such as cheesecake, sticky toffee puddings, etc etc. Sharing food is a great social opener in any country, and to think that anyone who doesn't embrace somtam as a national treasure to be revered and worshipped at all opportunities and to sacrifice all others, is perhaps in need of counselling.

I used to love Ambrosia Creamed rice best cold from a tin in the fridge and preferred Strawberry Angel delight to Chocolate any day.

Have held rice-pudding in horror ever since school dinners.

I agree about the strawberry Angel Delight, though.
