Instagram Post 7\/11\/2019<\/h4>\n

When I approach Khanom Thai\u2019s stall (number 10) with ethnojunket<\/a> guests in tow and they ask, \u201cWhat\u2019s good here?\u201d I can honestly answer, \u201cEverything.\u201d With a focus on sweets but not to the exclusion of savories (that\u2019s another post), Khanom Thai obviates the need to seek out another venue for dessert after eating our way though Elmhurst\u2019s HK Food Court (82-02 45th Ave in Queens).<\/p>\n

\nThese are Bean Cakes with Salted Egg. Soft, flaky, swirly layers of creamy, tissuey dough swathe a confection of mung bean paste surrounding a heart of salted egg yolk. But don\u2019t deconstruct it: just take a bite and taste why it\u2019s remarkable. When you look closely and stop to think about it, these are really a sweet metaphor for the egg reimagined, its white shell protecting its two-tone sunny contents.<\/p>\n

\nCoconut Pancakes, griddled fresh, right before your hungry eyes, warm and chewy. The color difference isn\u2019t chocolate vs something else; it\u2019s merely two different types of ground rice batter.<\/p>\n

\nObscenely decadent dessert: rich vanilla ice cream, sliced bananas and chocolate sauce oozing onto a warm roti, rainbow nonpareils for a bit of crunch. \u2019Nuff said.
