Red and Yellow Corn from Thailand.

This is a red and yellow corn which I get from one of the stall in the market at Thailand. The corn is very sweet and it smells good with a bit of Pandan smell, because they steam the corn together with the Pandan leaves. 

This corn looks some sort like a hybrid corn type of breeding between yellow corn and red corn. Red corn is a type of sweet corn, therefore, the mixture breed type of corn tastes evenly and better.

Mixed Fruit Candy from Thailand.

A packet of mixed fruits candy which I bought from one of the convenience store in Thailand. Something that is nice to chew when you feel like getting some snacks for a bite in once awhile.

In this packet of mixed fruit candy, there are two different flavors, which is the lychee and pineapple. I prefer the pineapple flavor as it is a bit sour and sweet.

The candy is in a square shape and it is a chewable type. So I would rather call it chewy fruits candy.

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.
