Just love Sunday evenings ... We go to a local market .. Its the one night a week I pig out a bit ... But apart from all the bad things I tuck away ... I always leave room for my favorite desert ... Mango with sticky rice ... Plus a small bag of coconut juice to pour over it..Lovely...Oh and only 25 baht !

some favourite sweets among the Thais are :

- Thong Yip (sweet egg yolk cup)
- Thong Yot (sweet egg yolk drop)
- Foi Thong (sweet shredded egg yolk)
- Met Khanun (mung bean flour coated with sweet egg yolk)
- Mo Kaeng (egg custard with mung bean flour)
- Sangkhaya (egg custard)
- Bua Loi (glutinous-rice flour balls in coconut cream)
- Tako (jelly with coconut cream)
- Kluai Buat Chi (banana in coconut cream)
- Fakthong Buat (pumpkin in coconut cream)
- Kluai Chueam (banana in syrup and coconut cream)
- Luk Chup (fruit-shape desserts made of mung-bean flour with natural colouring)
- Thapthim Krop (diced water-chestnuts in coconut cream)

There are arrays of Thai sweetmeats for sale at many places ranging from sidewalk stalls, markets and small shops to top department stores. Try to taste some of the above to appreciate the marvelous taste of Thai desserts.

I would recommend you my favourite sweet in Thailand, it's Khanom Sod Sai......
This Thai dessert wrapped in banana leaves 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..so dont wait for it!!
