Bua Loy Nam Khing (บัวลอยน้ำขิง)

One of my favorite Thai desserts is something known as bua loy nam khing, which is black sesame filled dumplings swimming in sweet ginger water.

If you’re ever in Yaowarat Chinatown, be sure to stop by this dessert stall for a great bowl of bua loy nam khing.

The stall and dessert is also featured on the Chinatown Bangkok video.

Tao Hoo Song Kreung (Rich Tofu with Mixed Vegetables)

A few vegetables and minced pork quickly fried up in a wok with soft melt…

Huge pot of mixed sweet and sour soup แกงส้มผักรวม on the side of the road…

One of the most common lunches in Thailand is just a plate of fried rice…
