THE Best Cart Foods

Cart Snacks We Enjoy
Thailand is full of restaurants.  However, we enjoy a regular snacking from the many carts we find along the road anywhere and everywhere.  Most of the items on this list can be bought for 20 baht or less (approximately 60 cents). 

·      Corn:  corn kernels tossed in butter, sugar and salt.  You can also buy it boiled or roasted on the cob.

·      Waffles:  4 inch diameter waffles.  You choose whether the batter includes maple, almond, sea salt & sesame and more (no syrup)

·      Satay:  mostly gai (chicken) or moo (pork)

·      Fruit:  bags of saparod (pineapple), tang mo (watermelon), mamuang see kiew (green mango w/salt, sugar and spice dip), farang (guava)

·      Ice cream:  with a variety of toppings including coconut, nuts, a variety of gelatinous squiggly things, sweetened condensed milk, fruity stuff.

·      Roti: crepe like pancake with anything put inside.  Folded into a square.  We like gluay (banana) and nutella.  Topped with sweetened condensed milk.

·      Kow Niow Mamuang (mango and sticky rice – seasonal.  We are craving it ALWAYS! 

·      Mien kam:  little bundles of dried shrimp, lime, ginger, onion, peanuts, cilantro/ parsley, hot peppers, toasted coconut and secret sauce wrapped up into a betel leaf.  A delightful mouthful!

·      Coke in a bag:  forget the can or bottle of coke.  We enjoy coke in a plastic bag filled with ice and a straw.

·      Chicken – any part.  We buy it roasted whole.  You can get chicken knuckles, but lots of cartillage.

·      Khanoms: These are little treats.  There are many different kinds including savory with chives or corn.  We generally eat the sweet ones that look like tablespoons filled with coconut milk, browned.  These are ready when they are somewhat set (but still a little jiggly).

·      Donuts:  Little ones that are drizzled with sweetened condensed milk or a pistachio pudding like sauce.
