The dessert today is made from the roots of a cassava plant. First you
have to prepare the syrup by mixing together sugar and water and boil
slowly until all the sugar has dissolved. Strain this through a sieve
and then bring it back to the boil once more. Reduce the heat and then
add the cassava roots which have been peeled and cut into two inch
sticks. Once it is cooked through it will have a glazed look as most of
the syrup would have been absorbed by the roots. You top this with a
mixture of coconut cream and salt that has been boiled together and
then allowed to cool. I have never had this before as it never looked
that attractive. It also looked very sweet. But small amounts was very
tasty. Try some yourself. This dish cost only 20 baht.
