Khanom sai sai, the largest of the three
wrappers shown here, i.e. the one closed with a
bamboo pin,
is a traditional Thai dessert made from a filling of sweetened
coconut mixed with palm sugar,
covered with a soft, slightly chewy outer layer made of
rice flour and
coconut milk. The dessert is then
wrapped in a
banana leaf and steamed. The other, pyramid-shaped and
smallest desert on the left is
khanom thian,
whilst
the double wrapper on the right, tied
together with bamboo strips, is
called
khao tom mat. |
