When I was in Ubon Ratchathani, I tried some of the famous Thai desserts from a street food stall. Read more about Thai street food: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/
One of the reasons you don’t really see me eating many desserts in video here is because I really very rarely eat desserts, mostly out of just preference that I don’t care for sweets very much. But when I was in Ubon Ratchathani, since I had received many request for snacks and desserts videos, I decided to go to a famous desserts cart called Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม), and try a selection of her Thai desserts.
I started off trying khanom man sampalang (ขนมมันสำปะหลัง), which is one of the signature Thai desserts at Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม), a sweet made with cassava. It sort of had the texture of a Japanese mochi, but it was a bit stickier, and it had a slight starchy component to it. What I really liked is how it was dipped and rolled in fresh coconut.
The next Thai dessert I tried is called khanom tua paeb (ขนมถั่วแป๊บ), a little dumpling style dessert that is made with sticky rice flour and covered in yellow mung beans. This dessert is popular throughout Thailand. The dessert is typically made unsweetened completely and it’s served with a little bag of sugar on the side that you add yourself. I decided to give it a try without any sugar, and it was quite plain and no sweet at all. I do like the yellow mung beans and again, the coconut.
Next I tasted khanom dom (ขนมต้ม), a little golf ball sized Thai dessert made with sticky rice flour, filled with a little nugget of palm sugar in the middle, and again, wrapped in coconut shreds. Although there’s no chocolate in this Thai dessert, it tasted to me a lot like a Bounty candy bar. It had a real coconut flavor and it had sort of a caramel flavor as well. It was alright, but a bit too sweet for me.
Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม) was very nice, and as I kept eating, she kept handing me more and more Thai desserts to try and test – so I kept tasting. Next, I tried khanom kluay (ขนมกล้วย), a Thai dessert made with bananas, kind of like a steamed banana cake – like the steamed cassava cake, but made with bananas. It was pretty good and had that sour banana flavor. Next for the Thai sweets khanom tasting I tried kluay chuam (กล้วยเชื่อม), which translates to candied bananas in syrup. This was too sweet for me and the bananas had a honey flavor. I also tried the same thing, but candied cassava as well.
Finally, I tried khao dom hua ngawk (ข้าวต้มหัวหงอก), and this is one of my favorite Thai desserts, especially eaten here at Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม). The rice was filled with ripe bananas, then steamed, and served with lots of fresh coconut on top as well. What I really like about khao dom hua ngawk (ข้าวต้มหัวหงอก) is that it’s not cooked with any sugar, but just relies upon the sweet bananas for the sweetness – so it’s not too sweet and it’s natural. This was my favorite dessert of the day.

I think the next time you have desserts, you can let ying do the commenting (and you can put the translation during the editing because from some of the videos I saw from before I think she likes a bit more sweet things than you do) I love sweet food but I feel kind of sad watching you eat desserts and making comments that make them taste bad…
Kanom tom is the best tasted ever
do more desserts videos please ? your videos are so nice to watchhh but im more to a dessert person . please do cakes or pastry (not sure what it's called) videos at thailand's night markets ???
I am going in February to thailand do you think is hard to go there without speaking the language? i just know a few phrases but not really how to speak the language.
I love your videos
I really much liked the last one when I ate it as a kid, but I still always prefered the flavour of pure sweet sticky rice, I was just crazy for it.
