That is the problem, I don't usually eat dessert as I am too full from the main meals. Which is probably why I have put on so much weight. Like eating double this month.

DAY 19: One of the most unusual Thai sweets are the Khanom Luk Chub (ลูกชุบ) which is Minature Fruit Candy. These desserts are made from mung-bean flour and come in various colours and shapes. They are made to look like a variety of different fruit and vegetables. The main ingredients are mung bean, sugar, coconut milk, agar (agar-agar is Malay for jelly), white jasmine water and food colouring.

DAY 20: One of my favourite Thai Desserts is Khao Niew Tud (ข้าวเหนียวตัด) which is Stickly Glutinous Rice with Coconut Cream Topping. This was 18 baht.

DAY 21: This Thai dessert wrapped in banana leaves is called Khanom Sod Sai (ขนมสดใส) which is Grated Coconut Pudding. The brown filling in this one is shredded coconut though you will sometimes find alternatives. The pudding is sticky rice with a topping of coconut cream and rice flour. This is then wrapped in a banana leaf and put in a steamer for about ten minutes. Four of these cost about 10 baht

DAY 22: This a favourite Thai dessert of mine called Khanom Thuay (ขนมถ้วย) which is Steamed Pandanus Cake. You can just see that the cake (more like a jelly) consists of two distinct layers. The green bottom layer is made up of rice flour mixed with some mung bean flour, pandanus juice, sugar and coconut milk. The white topping is made from rice flour, salt and coconut cream.This cost 20 baht.
