The dessert today is "khanom piak poon" which is sometimes translated
as rice flour custard. Though it is firmer than what we would normally
call custard. You basically stir together rice flour, tubular flour,
palm sugar and saturated red lime juice. It is cooked over a high heat
until it turns sticky and thick. To make the green version you need to
soak pandanus leaves in water. The black comes from burnt coconut skin.
It is not a bad taste and I quite enjoyed eating it. These three only
cost 10 baht.
