Thailand Mini Crispy Pancake

One of the famous Thai deserts that you should not miss out to try when you travel to Thailand is this crispy mini pancake. It is one of the Thai sweetmeats that I will never miss out whenever I travelled to Thailand.

I could finish eating more than ten pieces of this mini Thai sweetmeat alone. The outer layer of the mini pancake tastes slightly similar to the Taiwan crepes. However, if you leave the pancake in the plastic bags for a longer period of time, the pancakes might become less crispy and it won’t taste that nice. The reason is because the heat accumulated in the plastic packet softens the crust of the crepes due to the humidity formed from the heat. Therefore, it is suggested to eat the pancake instantly and you could really taste the crispiness of the pancake.

You can find this crispy pancake along the street where they usually put it on a cooling rack. If I’m not wrong, this mini pancake is called “ka nom baung” in Thai language. Hence, next time when you travel to Thailand and you would like to save your time searching the stall selling this crispy pancake by your own way, perhaps you could probably ask the local people where you can buy “ka nom baung” and hopefully they could guide you the correct way.
