Sangkaya - the National Egg Custard of Thailand

Sangkaya is a delicious rich smooth Egg Custard.

Made from coconut cream, palm sugar, eggs, and a splash of pandanus.

Cook it by steaming in a bamboo dim sum steamer.

Served sliced as street food, or inside a hollowed out kabocha squash.

Lobo Thai Custard Mix Vanilla Flavor

As delicate, silky, and flavourful as one might expect from a just-add-water packet mix.
Nonetheless it is perfectly edible, and ready in half an hour.

We served ours in a decapitated young coconut for extra exoticism.
