The dish that stops you in your tracks every time you smell it. Caramelised banana folded inside crispy roti, condensed milk, toasted cassia bark sugar.
Thailand's most loved dessert, done properly. Sticky glutinous rice soaked in a coconut and mango cream sauce. Use nahm dok mai when you can find them - March to May is the window.
British sticky toffee pudding, Farang'd up. Spiced pumpkin, Sang Som rum and a coconut toffee sauce. The one that goes on when the clocks go back.
Spiced mango jam cake from Farang. Cassia, cardamom and cloves through the batter, overripe mangoes cooked into jam, two-thirds in the batter and the rest on top. Not authentically Thai. Authentically Farang.
