More Simple Sweet Pleasures…so many to list – an endless variety of cold drinks – all sweet – usually from sweetened condensed milk, from numerous stands and carts – Cha Yen (Iced Thai Tea), Cha Dum (Iced Thai Tea – no milk), Kaffee Yen – Boran or Nes (Iced Coffee the ancient way or Nescafe), Coco Yen (Iced chocolatey something!), Cha Khiaw (Iced Green tea with Milk), Nam Takrai (Iced Lemongrass – really good, we have started making our own too), Nom Yen (Cold milk with Sala or Crème Soda flavor)…the list goes on. As does the list for all the Thai khanoms and sweets – sticky rice and mango, bananas in sticky rice, deep fried bananas (deep fried lots of things!) There is a grace and art to so many things Thai people do including what they eat and drink. A few more favorites…Banana Roti, Real rice cakes for breakfast, and of course Sticky Rice and Chicken (and Somtam if you like – green papaya salad).
Sweet Desserts!
