Hello, steemit! This is second post from me. It's really good to read your comment for me. Thank you very much for everyone come to meet and welcome me. In this post, I'm going to talk about a thing I loved.

I think the most of women loves desserts, right? And I was one of them. When I feel stressed, sad, tried or lonely. Dessert is always my best friend!

Of course, when you talk about the desserts, you will think about ice cream, chocolate or cookies, right?
But, my hometown is Thailand. The country is famous about foods. One of the famous foods in Thailand is Thai desserts.

The traditional Thai desserts reflect Thai cuisine in the way certain ingredients are used notably rice, coconut and fruits.

Thai desserts are known as Khanom in Thai or sweet snacks. We believe that eating a Thai dessert is a great way to end a meal and smoothen the palate after a spicy Thai dish.

I will share some thai desserts I loved! 😋

Tong Yip (Flower Egg Yolk Tart), Tong Yord (Round Egg Yolk Tart) and Foi Tong (Shredded Egg Yolk Tart)
Egg yolk, sugar, and flower water boiled in sugar syrup and formed into flower like shapes. Tong Yip, Tong Yord and Foi Tong make up a popular trinity of Thai desserts.

Sang Kaya Fug Tong (Punmpkin and Custard)
It all begins with a pumpkin that’s hollowed out and filled with the creamiest custard you can ever imagine. The whole pumpkin is then sliced into pie like pieces and served normally as a takeaway treat. It’s rich and sweet.

Nam Kang Sai (Mixed Ice Dessert)
This is look like Bingsu of Korean, but ingredients and methods are different. You get a choice combination of various jellies candied fruits which are scooped into a bowl and topped with chunks of ice and then doused in sweet syrup, coconut milk, and sometimes other sweet syrups. Nam kang sai is one of the perfect Thai desserts on a hot afternoon.

Gluay Buad Chee (Bananas in Coconut Milk)
Like many other Thai desserts, this one consists of fruit, coconut milk, and lots of sugar. Bananas are simmered with coconut cream to create a pudding like banana coconut sweet stew.

Khao Neow Ma Muang (Sticky Rice with Mango)
Sweet sticky rice with sweet yellow mango on top and covered in coconut cream syrup. Khao Neow Mamuang is among the most popular Thai desserts to eat in and outside of Thailand. In Bangkok, you’ll find mango sticky rice all over during mango season.

Khanom Tarn (Palm Sugar Pudding)
These small little cakes taste a little like corn bread, but instead of corn, they are made from palm heart. They are steamed in palm branches and then served along the streets of Bangkok.

Roti Sai Mai (Thai Cotton Candy Burrito)
Especially famous as being a product of Ayutthaya, roti sai mai consists of two main items: candy floss and thin crepe pancakes. The hairlike candy floss is placed into the thin pancakes and eaten like a burrito.

And the last, the first of my favorite desserts is... ice cream! Thai people called "Itim Khanom Pang (Ice Cream Sandwich)"

What could be better than coconut ice cream? How about coconut ice cream in a bun with sweet sticky rice on the bottom. A sliced bun, sticky rice, scoop of ice cream, peanuts, preserved palm fruit and condensed milk combined into a true Thai ice cream sandwich. Thai desserts can be fun and interesting to eat!
