Thai Desserts: Tasting Sweets From a Dessert Cart
When I was in Ubon Ratchathani, I tried some of the famous Thai desserts from a street food stall. Read more about Thai street food: www.eatingthaifood.com/
One of the reasons you don’t really see me eating many desserts in video here is because I really very rarely eat desserts, mostly out of just preference that I don’t care for sweets very much. But when I was in Ubon Ratchathani, since I had received many request for snacks and desserts videos, I decided to go to a famous desserts cart called Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม), and try a selection of her Thai desserts.
I started off trying khanom man sampalang (ขนมมันสำปะหลัง), which is one of the signature Thai desserts at Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม), a sweet made with cassava. It sort of had the texture of a Japanese mochi, but it was a bit stickier, and it had a slight starchy component to it. What I really liked is how it was dipped and rolled in fresh coconut.
The next Thai dessert I tried is called khanom tua paeb (ขนมถั่วแป๊บ), a little dumpling style dessert that is made with sticky rice flour and covered in yellow mung beans. This dessert is popular throughout Thailand. The dessert is typically made unsweetened completely and it’s served with a little bag of sugar on the side that you add yourself. I decided to give it a try without any sugar, and it was quite plain and no sweet at all. I do like the yellow mung beans and again, the coconut.
Next I tasted khanom dom (ขนมต้ม), a little golf ball sized Thai dessert made with sticky rice flour, filled with a little nugget of palm sugar in the middle, and again, wrapped in coconut shreds. Although there’s no chocolate in this Thai dessert, it tasted to me a lot like a Bounty candy bar. It had a real coconut flavor and it had sort of a caramel flavor as well. It was alright, but a bit too sweet for me.
Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม) was very nice, and as I kept eating, she kept handing me more and more Thai desserts to try and test - so I kept tasting. Next, I tried khanom kluay (ขนมกล้วย), a Thai dessert made with bananas, kind of like a steamed banana cake - like the steamed cassava cake, but made with bananas. It was pretty good and had that sour banana flavor. Next for the Thai sweets khanom tasting I tried kluay chuam (กล้วยเชื่อม), which translates to candied bananas in syrup. This was too sweet for me and the bananas had a honey flavor. I also tried the same thing, but candied cassava as well.
Finally, I tried khao dom hua ngawk (ข้าวต้มหัวหงอก), and this is one of my favorite Thai desserts, especially eaten here at Khun Yai Udom (คุณยายอุดม). The rice was filled with ripe bananas, then steamed, and served with lots of fresh coconut on top as well. What I really like about khao dom hua ngawk (ข้าวต้มหัวหงอก) is that it’s not cooked with any sugar, but just relies upon the sweet bananas for the sweetness - so it’s not too sweet and it’s natural. This was my favorite dessert of the day.

I really appreciate your willingness to eat sweet stuff even though you are not a fan. The older I get, the less I like sweet food unless it's also spicy hot. SO thank you for your sacrifice.
Oh man, that looked painful for you! Haha, but you took one for the team, and the desserts looked great. Thanks for the video.

How to know when mark doesn't LOVE the food. He just nods his head and doesn't roll his head from left to right haha!
Im not long back from my first trip to Thailand and I fell in love with their sweets and also the chilled fresh fruit stands. Cant wait to get back :) Thanks again for all your fantastic posts!!
He should have Ying guest host for the desserts. He seems to dislike sweets so much it's hard to get excited about these dishes- what other people may be really excited about he just seems forcing himself through.
Long time subs know you dislike both sweet AND mushy foods. This was definitely a challenge. Great video Mark!

Love watching you Mark eating all the food, big & I mean big mouthfuls of food. I am always amazed how much you eat in one bite but I noticed you did not do that with the desserts :). I will keep watching, in fact I come to youtube to look up something for school & end up watching you eat instead....:).
do more desserts videos please 😅 your videos are so nice to watchhh but im more to a dessert person . please do cakes or pastry (not sure what it's called) videos at thailand's night markets 💞💞💞
I'm Thai and I watch your vids everyday. Learned a lot from you too. Thanx for making great food videos :)
Wow! Thanks Mark, I loved this video. It is amazing to see how desserts around the words are kind of similar - The khanom man sam palang is very close to a steamed dessert you find in the Pacific Islands of Fiji called Vakalolo or Mandarai.
Wow! I love sweets and unique desserts so I am very happy that you tasted sweets for us! Interesting and looks very delicious. :)
This is a video I never thought you'd make given your dislike of sweet things. I liked the last one best too.
I’m just coming around to see your videos now. By the looks of other dishes that you have absolutely loved, this didn’t seem to be your favorite segment to do. I haven’t been too fond of Thai desserts yet, but this cart intrigued me.....hopefully we can find it!!
Ubon is my hometown in thailand, I love watching any of your vlogs there!
I like the best contents..of Mark Wiens....so yummy and easy explanations..
Nice too see you try sweet treats. They look very tasty

Thank you Mark, for taking one for the team. 😂. Even with not being a sweet fan, you did a fantastic review. I would love to try them all.
we just tried thai desserts for our first time on our channel... and it was DELICIOUS!! these street food desserts looks so good too!
OMG Thai desserts are my favorite!!! Reminds me of my childhood! YUMMY!
Good to see you switching it up!
Mark, It is cool to see you in the Essan Thai region, I remember the last time I was in Northeastern Thai at a city called Khon Kaen the people are very friendly and the Thai authentic food at the night market is delicious. The night market in Khon Kaen is huge, you should visit that city someday.
They all look yumm
When you said " bounty " i just had a flashback of all those great memories haha, anyway great video as always, keep up the good work ! :D
More Thai Desserts! Reminds me of my childhood. There was an entire market in Bangkok that was all desserts.

Demi_Mars do you know that red banana isn’t from coloring it is just banana and sugar syrup heat (very long time)
I love desserts especially when I am in the Philippines.
Mark and Ying, Oh yes, the banana and sticky rice together in the leaves....Yes, I would like that. I am like you, not much on sweets. The beautiful lady who made all the food looked like she really enjoyed your visit and watching you eat :)
I'm Laos and I live in the United States and I live all of those desserts, they all have a unique taste.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Does Ying like sweets? Maybe she can give us an overview of the deserts sometime since they aren't your thing?
nothing beats khanom krok and the last one you tried. love the video still.
The last dessert is my favorite!
The deserts without adding the sugar or syrups looked VERY health actually, and TASTY!!!
Sweet desserts😋👍💯 nice video😍💖
Hi Mark! I love your videos keep up the great work, I got a good idea for a few videos! Do you think you'll maybe make videos about in state foods? Like southern, mid-western, north and etc in the United States? And also I hope you'll go back to Vietnam soon!
Maybe Ying can review the desserts so you don't have to force yourself. Haha But only if she's comfortable doing so. This is just a suggestion. But based on your previous videos, Ying seems more of a dessert person than you. :D
Hope to see you in Lampang soon.
gr8 stuff Mark
best grandma ever!
Did you mean a Mounds chocolate bar? Glad you showed us some sweets even though they aren't top of your list!
Dessert nice and sweet really good! Hey! Look good!~

Hi i'm from thailand ทุกอย่างอร่อยมาก
I can feel your pain. I am also not into sweets at all. Sugar just makes me hyper and stuff. On the other hand, grandma calms me down, because she is sweeter than her desserts. I think you should go more often beyond your limits. I think only by defining the boundaries, you can find the center. Cheers, chris
Definately trying this when i go to thailand..
delicious😋💖👍
That 'bounty bar' u tried could be sth like Gula Melaka guih. But gula melaka guih is molten palm sugar wrapped with green glutinous rice ball
Mark, I think you should get Ying to do the dessert review I'm sure she loves all the Thai desserts. I would love to see Ying impersonate your facial expression :-)
yummy!!
I really much liked the last one when I ate it as a kid, but I still always prefered the flavour of pure sweet sticky rice, I was just crazy for it.
Hi Mark, as I watch your video and the seller's cook fresh everyday...when do they have time to prepare all the great foods and still have time to sell it..such as this lady selling all her desserts. Does her family help prepare the desserts...these foods seems to be pretty labor intensive. Thanks for a great video!!!
Do you live in Thailand. I wan't to move to Thailand But I can't go at school and dad woulden't have a job. Mum is from Thailand and i love to visit my family there. Everyone should apriciate their families. Live your videos😊❤
I am going in February to thailand do you think is hard to go there without speaking the language? i just know a few phrases but not really how to speak the language. I love your videos
Every good Yummy
Hi Mark and Ying! I like sweets but not too sweet..I like the dessert especially the banana with sticky covered by a banana leaves looks so tasty ..and covered with coconut love the coconut as well..Love this video Mark..something different..hope you can make more sweets video..Thanks again Mark and Ying for this sweet video! Is ying likes sweets as well?Can't wait for the next video!--Elwyn--
อยากกินเลย
I think the next time you have desserts, you can let ying do the commenting (and you can put the translation during the editing because from some of the videos I saw from before I think she likes a bit more sweet things than you do) I love sweet food but I feel kind of sad watching you eat desserts and making comments that make them taste bad...
The banana treats looked so tasty !
Clearly you are not a big fan of sweets... I love that you were open to trying everything anyway. Thanks! I'm wondering if you ever get sick from the food you try or has your body just adapted?
Looked great and tasty. Would love to try some. Stomach and taste buds got a welcome vacation ;)
LOL I am diabetic and almost had to use my insulin just from WATCHING those yummy treats!
What an amazing woman!
more desserts review in bangkok pleaseee
Yum need to ask mom to make me some 😄
Yes desert ..i like it in ASEAN COUNTRY even In myanmar same like this sticky rice with coconut and peanut ..same like thai and Lao Malaysia Indonesia. same
You were referring to mounds candy bar?
Yeahhh bounty is awesome 😁
Hi Mark! I live in Thailand, and I am always searching for fresh cassava. I still cant find it anywhere. Do you know where to find it?
Hi Mark, I know you are busy...we are traveling to Thailand for Christmas and we love Thai rolled ice cream. Is that a thing in Thailand and do you know where we can find it either in Bangkok or Pattaya? We love your channel!! Cricket.
Have you tried putting those sugars into your tua paap afterwards? Because if you haven't, you're really missing it. Although they just look like a bag of sugar but they actually contain sugar, salt, and roasted sesame seeds. Those are the flavors and aroma of Tua Paap. You really should try it.
no mango and sticky rice?! that is my fav! =D
Great video as usual Mark
come to canada!
Not bounty its called mounds. almond joy is the same except almonds on top
Kanom tom is the best tasted ever
And yes it's a bounty bar :)

Sampalang = tapioca Yai = granny. Don't address her as "yai" but rather Khun Yai ; reflects on upbringing eg Khun Yai, Khun Yai tham Kanom Aroi aroi
you need one of your friends that love sweets to also give there opinion on each one.

Grandma has a stall rite outside the post office and she sells little wrapped clear bags of "sugar" 😉
