Bangkok Street Food: Must-try , Food Places , Night Market If you like eating street food, especially sweet food, there are five thai sweet street food in Bangkok you can't miss! Thai cuisine is known the world over for its explosively spicy and savory tastes, but the Kingdom is not typically noted as a great place to indulge on sweets. Even so, Thais carry on a deep tradition of delectable desserts that often play on the indigenous flavors of coconut, fresh fruit and sticky rice. Here are five that any self-respecting sweet tooth would be wise to sample while in Thailand. Khao niew mamuang (Mango with Sticky Rice ) For the love of all sweet things, you cannot miss this simple but delicious dessert. See those stalls with mango pyramids? Stop here and try this combination of sweet and juicy mangos with sticky flavoured rice and coconut cream. Heaven! Where to try? Quality coconut sticky rice with mango is widely available throughout the city, including from several vendors on Khao San Road. The durian version can be more of a challenge to locate - I’ve been lucky (or unlucky?) enough to find it regularly from a particular fruit vendor in Pak Khlong Talad flower market, in the fresh fruit section along the sidewalk towards the north of the market. Cost: about 50-100 Baht. Roti Gluay( Banana Thai Pancake) Roti means Dough or Pancake or Prata and Gluay means Banana.This Banana Prata is topped with condensed milk and this made them even sweeter. If you are not a condensed milk lover then you have options like honey, nutella, chocolate, coconut, sugar and a lot more. The parats are Light, crispy and delicious. Where to try? You will find this in Street Food places, Pratunam, Khao San, Silom. Cost: about 30 Baht. Ice Cream with Coconut Flesh Made with coconut milk rather than cow’s milk, Thai i-dtim is both sweet and refreshing, and locals often take it with kernels of boiled corn or gingko biloba sprinkled on top. A more literal depiction of the “ice cream sandwich”, many Thais also enjoy i-dtim mat phrao wedged between a folded piece of white bread - come on, you know you want to try it! Where to try? You can find it at Chatuchak Weekend Market. Cost: about 35 Baht. Khanom Krok Kanom Krok is a a coconut pudding made of ground jasmine rice and coconut milk as a base. Both are poured into a cast iron pan specifically made for Kanom Krok. Toppings vary, but chives, pumpkin shavings, sugar, and salt can be used as a topping.What you get is the creamy sweetness of coconut milk and rice, with the savory addition of salt and whatever other addition has been placed on the Kanom Krok. It’s a warm soothing comfort food that delivers a delightful YUM! Where to try? You will find this in Street Food places, Pratunam, Khao San, Silom. Cost: Pay 15 Baht for 12 halves. Sweet Sticky Rice Sticky rice is the dessert of choice in Thailand with seemingly endless variations of sweet treats. Some of the more popular are found at street food stalls where sticky rice is cooked with favourites of banana, sweet potato, or black bean. Again flavoured with coconut milk, salt and sugar. A popular method for cooking is over open flames inside Bamboo Stalks (Khao Lam, ข้าวหลาม) or wrapped in Banana Leaves (Khao Tom Mud, ข้าวต้มมัด). Where to try? The strip of food stalls that line up daily on the sidewalk in front of Platinum Shopping Mall in Pratunam are a good place to find khao niew bing, as well as similar variations like khanom jaak (coconut meat fire-roasted with sticky rice in a particular palm leaf) and khao lam (sticky rice stuffed in a hollow piece of bamboo along with peanut and sweet bean and grilled). Cost: For sticky rice in Banana leaf expect to pay roughly 20 Baht for 3. For bamboo cooked sticky rice pay roughly 30 baht for 1.
