Having been to Bangkok many times in the past for business, meals are always confine to hotels or restaurants. For this trip I was determine to try out the street food. After consulting with my friends about eating street food, they totally rejected my request. They said that street food is only for locals and localised foreigners. As a alternative they suggested that we try the food court in the shopping mall which is much more hygenic.
Array of deserts.
Too many to try but it did made me salivate
Our choice
The one below the two bowls are made of rice flour and mung bean paste. The bowl on the left is durian with sticky rice with some coconut milk amd ice-shaving. The one on the right is water chestnut coated with glutinous rice flour with ice chips and coconut milk. They are all sweet and yummie.
