What is this thai cuisine?
March 9, 2010
I was coming back from Pattaya to Bangkok and on the way there are many little markets and shops on the side of the highway. We stopped and I decided to try these things, they come in a long corn husk type of thing, they are stapled shut, when you open it up, there are these brownish super sticky treats, I think with some coconut pieces in there, but I have no idea what it is, it was delicious!!!

I just found out from my Thai ex-girlfriend, the name is “kanom jake” or “khanom jake” or “ka nom jak”
I tried that before. Can’t say i liked it much.
More names I’ve heard it called:
Khanom bai jak
kanom jaak
ขนมจาก
I heard also it’s called “Khao Laem”
……sounds same as “cow laim”
