Many people will plan their travels to correspond with different foods offered in different towns. In Phet Buri, about three hours drive south of Bangkok, they stopped for coconut-based desserts. And in Pra Chuap, an agricultural area in the center of the province, they stopped for a dessert which resembles a veggie creme brulee, made with rice, coconut, and tapioca flour cut into squares and baked in a kiln. Then we will leave you with a short veggie street food survival guide and a few sample recipes. Order without the strips of egg, which are traditional.
Main ingredients are rice flour, shredded coconut, and palm sugar.
Topped with bean sprouts, fried garlic, and soy sauce. Order without dried shrimp. This most popular of Thai dishes is found in sit-down restaurants and at the food stalls. We found this dish to be perfect for a hot dinner or served as a cold lunch. When water boils, turn heat off, add vermicelli and cool until al dente.
