Dishes mentioned
Khao Niao Dam (Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Cream)
This is the black sticky rice with a little bit of coconut cream on top, served in a banana leaf. You can just taste that it's handmade, made with natural flavor using palm sugar which is so much more flavorful than refined sugar. You've got that coconut, there's a sort of shredded coconut paste on top, but then you've got the coconut cream below it too. And that black sticky rice is probably a little bit sweetened as well. Oh man, that is really good. It doesn't taste like rice — because the sticky rice is so dense, it's almost like a cake. It's not even really like eating rice at all.
Khao San Kaya (Sticky Rice with Custard)
This is khao san kaya — sticky rice with sankaya, a custard on top. Such a beautiful, light but flavorful custard. I just pick it up. It's almost like a cake, but it's all rice on the bottom. Oh man, that custard is just so rich and creamy, it just melts in your mouth. The texture between the chewy rice and the soft, creamy custard is such a perfect blend. This is like my guilty pleasure right here. This is what really made me fall in love with Thai traditional desserts. Look at that jiggle.
Thong Yod (Golden Drop)
This is the golden drop — thong yod. I've never tried this before. Wow, that one's too sweet for me. Oh man, it's like pure sugar. The texture is nice, but way too sweet.
Foi Thong (Golden Threads)
This is foi thong — golden threads. It's so sweet though. I prefer the khao san kaya. But still pretty good. Coconuty and just sweet. Just sugar.
