This is a typical thai snack using some fresh 'cha plu' leaves (malay=daun kadok), ate them for the first time at champor restaurant in munich and i finally made some last week. In the middle is the palm sugar sauce prepared with chilis, ginger, lemon gras, grated coconut and dried shrimps. How do you eat them?...take a leaf, make a little pouch, fill them with a little bit of everything, close the pouch and put it in your mouth all at once, chew slowly and enjoy...
i have only tasted it once in my life. this was when i was in riyadh 12 years ago.It was a little bit bitter but nice.
ReplyDeleteIt was prepared by the wife of the Thai Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
