Kaotommad is the underrated Thai dessert.

Kaotommad is the underrated Thai dessert.

Thailand is said to be a heaven of food for its various reasons. Be the street food you can find anywhere just within your sight, plenty of choices to choose, or the unique taste you cannot find anywhere else.





if you happen to visit Thailand, don't miss Thai desserts I would introduce here.
Countless Thai desserts use coconut milk as a main ingredient which gives them such a mellow taste. One of these is Kao-tom-mad.  It is made of sticky rice fried with fresh coconut milk, added with banana and black beans inside. Wrapped in young banana leaf, it will be steamed until cooked, coming out with a fresh, rich coconut scent.
Similar food like Kaotommad can also be found in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries, since we share a lot of mutual food cultures.


It is easy to find in street markets. However, my tip is look for old lady peddlers with stuff carrying on their shoulders. They tend to be very well at cooking traditional Thai desserts.
