Where is David?

I’m not a big dessert guy, and especially not a Thai dessert guy, but here’s one Thai treat that serves the palate well.

Khanom Krok can best be described as Thai grilled coconut pudding, usually with a small amount of added ingredient such as corn to tweak it’s flavor a little bit.

There are many different versions, but I prefer the corn or coconut versions. There are sometimes green onion or even mussel versions that don’t quite do much for me.

They usually come in a styrofoam container, as seen in this picture:

and you can probably get 20 of them for about 50 cents here in Bangkok. They’re great hot off the grill, which looks like a similar contraption that they use to cook takoyaki with in Japan or just imagine a huge circular grill with lots of little circular dips where the batter is poured. They can get a bit soggy after a while, but still good nevertheless. If you head to Thailand, I recommend you try them. They’re not too sweet so you can even eat them as a breakfast food as well.

Here’s another photo (not actual size, sorry)
