The previous article I have recommended about typical Thai food that you must try in Bangkok.
This time is a continued episode because I am going to tell you about the unique Thai dessert that you have to eat.
Cake , cookie , pie are very easy to find in the western country , so when a tourist travels in Bangkok , I would rather ask them to try a local dessert. Most of the Thai desserts are made from the fruit or natural product because in the past Thailand was an agriculture society. These are eight Thai desserts that you cannot miss .
1. Kanomchan (layer dessert made from coconut milk)
Kanom means dessert , and chan means layers. Therefore , Kanomchan means the dessert that comes in a layer. It is made from coconut milk , and it tastes slightly sweet and a bit oily. I would rather suggest you to go for Kanomchan having a flower scent because some shops put an edible and naturul perfume when they bake Kanomchan.Normally , Kanomchan contains nine layers because Thais believe that number nine is a symbol of advance and prosperity. There is one shop in Bangkok which is very famous for Kanomchan named Sujitporn. For further information , please chech the shop 's website : http://www.sujitporn.com/ .
