28. “ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง” (kao-neow-ma-muang) aka sticky rice with mangoes. This thread will be incomplete without this canonical Thai dessert. The sticky rice is cooked with coconut milk and sugar. Mangoes have to be the breeds that have enough sweetness to stand up to it. You can pour more coconut milk over it when eating. #FoodOfMastodon #FoodReview #ThailandFood #ThailandDessert

27. “ฮันนี่โทสต์” (Honey toast). A Japanese-origin dessert that’s become hugely popular in Thailand. It’s a toasted cube of bread that’s brushed with a mix of butter and honey. It’s topped with ice cream and served with whipped cream. You then pour honey over it before eating. #foodofmastodon #FoodReview #ThailandFood #ThailandDessert

26. “โรตี” (ro-ti). You’ve probably seen this term referring to an Indian flatbread before. But it is referred to a different kind in Thailand (maida paratha src: Wikipedia). It’s a crispy fried flatbread and served as dessert. Many also add eggs or bananas as ingredients. Common toppings are sugar and concentrated milk. #Food #FoodReview #ThailandFood #ThailandDessert

22. “ขนมถ้วย” (ka-nom-tuay). Another traditional Thai dessert/snack. It has a tiny bowl shape (tuay) with two layers. The bottom layer is a mix of rice flour and pandan leaf water while top layer is made of coconut milk.

21. “บัวลอยงาดําชาเขียว” (bua-loy-nga-dum-cha-keow). This is a fusion between bualoy and sweet milk green tea. Big bualoy balls also have black sesame (nga-dum) fillings. This dessert is more niche but the recombination of food/sweet is very common here. #Food #FoodReview #ThailandFood #ThailandDessert

20. “บัวลอยไข่หวาน” (bua-loy-kai-waan). Bualoy is a traditional Thai dessert that consists of glutinous rice flour rolled into small balls mixed with food coloring (can be natural color derived from plants) and cooked in coconut milk and sugar. Eggs can be added and that’s what “kai-waan” refers to. If salted eggs are used, then it’ll be “kai-kem”. #Food #FoodReview #ThailandFood #ThailandDessert

18. “ชาไทยเย็น” (cha-thai-yen) aka Thai tea. Thai tea is originally made from Ceylon tea, but they’re pricey so people also use landrace Assam as the tea base and mix in food coloring. Concentrated milk is the common sweetener. “yen” means it’s an iced version because it can be hot or ice-blended too.

This will begin a subthread on sweet scene in Thailand because this is an interesting subculture here contrasting to the US.
