Waffles can reliably be found in any city in Thailand. Common flavors: Chocolate, raisin and corn. Shocking revelation: Corn is hands down the best flavor. The kernels add just a little extra sweetness and are a pleasant surprise. (Side note: The Thai love canned corn on everything. We’ve seen it sold as a topping with shaved ice and with peas in ice pops.)
Banana Pancakes are a signature backpacker treat and they are delicious. The bananas are sliced and served in a crepe-like dough, fried in a big wok, and topped with any of the following: vanilla syrup (gross), honey, chocolate sauce (very tasty), or sweetened condensed milk (the clear winner). Banana pancake vendors only come out later in the day, around mid-afternoon, but are open until late in the night.
Banana Fritters, similar to maduros, are sold in bags for 10-20 Baht. Often coated in sesame seeds, they are one of the most snackable treats we’ve come across and taste good both fresh out of the fryer and a few hours later when they’ve completely cooled.
Meat on a Stick, specifically chicken, is the best savory snack we’ve found. Often served with a spicy chili sauce and sticky rice, it’s the perfect late-night snack.
please send me one of each in the mail and maybe six of those banana fritters. thank you.
