On returning from a journey to Nan, my wife asked me to divert to a small village off the main road. She remembered a small shop from 30 years ago when she was a small child that made kanom krock, and wondered if it was still there. It was.
Shaped into small rounded discs (UFO like), and made from the basic ingredients of coconut milk and flour, they do not look overly appetizing at first glance. However, they are delicious. Often laced with various vegetables (e.g. sweet corn and sliced onion leaf) and served piping hot they taste better than any other Thai sweet that I have encountered.
In Chiang Mai it is difficult to find places that sell them. However, there is a stall in the Northern Food Hall (see article) near to the outside entrance that specialises in them. For a mere 15bht for six, you’ll experience a taste out of this world!
