Thai dessert

Being brought up in SouthEast Asia, we have a taste buds that are adapted to various different types of food. One of Ping's favorite is Thai dessert. Most of their desserts are made up of sticky rice, coconut milk or mango and these three ingredients do taste pretty good together. In fact, Ping prefers them to our Penang desserts like ice-kacang (although people from all over the world comes to Penang to try them), cendol and leng chee kang.

Few weekends back, Ping learned this from Nok - Khanom Nang Led. But the one we made have a slightly different recipe. Instead of using watermelon juice, we used lime juice, which would suit Ping better anyway since Ping does not favor watermelon. As for the dippy, it is made of coconut milk, minced pork, cilantro and of course, chilli! It became more of an appetizer dish than dessert since it's not very sweet and there's pork. It is probably not very healthy since it's deep fried. But it's delicious! It's a little too time consuming to make lots of it too.
