Thai sweets are instantly recognized as desserts; colourful and gelled you can find a variety of shapes and sizes of threads, strips and balls together with noodles floating in syrup and strips of coconut, white fluff and tiny crisp pancakes. Thai sweets are predominantly made out of the same base products which include palm sugar, coconut milk, rice and eggs. The flavour doesn’t vary much from type to type; it is really more the texture that makes the whole array of varieties more interesting to try out.
