Thailand’s Sweet Tooth: Decadent Desserts
Thais have a sweet tooth and a heavy hand with sugar in much of their cuisine but especially, as in any culture, in desserts and candies.
Following on from my post Thai Street Food: Tasting a Kingdom Stall By Stall here are a few popular Thai desserts.
Sadly, I don’t yet have a photo of my personal favorite, mango with sticky rice slathered in coconut milk and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It’s always gone before my camera comes out!

I think I need to do a culinary tour of Thailand one of these days. Mouth-watering!

Meghan, I highly recommend it! Each region has it’s specialties but my posts have barely scratched the surface!
