8 Thai desserts that you must try

Holidays in Thailand are inextricably linked with excellent local cuisine. Thanks to their exotic tastes and imaginative combinations, Thai dishes are known all over the world. Among the real gourmet delicacies are local sweets, the fame of which, however, unfortunately disappears a bit in competition with other dishes.

Desserts must not be missing from the offer of street vendors, whose stalls fill the streets of Thai cities every day. Let's imagine the most famous - and according to many the most delicious - desserts that you will come across in Thailand.

• 1. Khao Niew Mamuang

If you are looking for the most typical Thai dessert, here it is! Slow-cooked sweet sticky rice served with coconut cream and pieces of fresh mango - this is the combination you will fall in love with on the first taste.

• 2. Khao Lam

A sweet delicacy in the form of sticky rice with black beans and coconut syrup is served served in the stem of chopped bamboo, in which this sweet mixture was previously roasted. 

• 3. Luk Chup

An eye-catching dessert called Luk Chup is made from a mixture of mung beans, sugar and coconut milk. Like our marzipan, this material is modeled into various shapes. The finished pieces are topped with colored gelatin.

• 4. Thong Yip

The Buddhist faith in Thailand is reflected in all aspects of everyday life, including food. In order for the Thais (not only) to ensure happiness and prosperity at important life events, they make desserts from egg yolks. The golden color symbolizes abundance. In addition to Thong Yip, the same raw materials - yolks and sugar - are used to make Thong Yod and Foi Thong, the only difference of which lies in the final shape (Thong Yip are flowers, Thong Yod balls and Foi Thong strings).

• 5. Khanom Bueang

When you miss the favorite French pancakes, try their Thai equivalent, Khanom Bueang. These crispy pancakes are served with a sweet cream of egg whites and the yolk sweetness of Foi Thong on top.

• 6. Roti

Definitely do not miss this very popular sweet dessert! Butter-fried denser dough, which is stuffed with bananas, pineapple or other fruit and topped with sweet condensed milk, is a real heaven on earth for sweet lovers.

• 7. Khanom Chan

If you like jelly, then you have to taste its Thai version. The mixture of sugar, coconut milk and flour is heated in a pan until a jelly-like mass is formed. By alternating two shades of (most often) green, a total of nine stripes will be created on the Khanom Chun cut - nine is a lucky number for Thais.

• 8. Itim Kati

On hot days, one is most pleased with good ice cream. And what else to taste in Thailand than ice cream full of coconut? Itim Kati is an ice cream made from the pulp of young coconut and coconut shavings served in a 

coconut shell along with pieces of sweet pumpkin, peanuts or coconut jelly.
