I'm so glad to be able to start the new year with a favourite Thai snack of mine.Since having returned from my overseas trip and getting a change to revisit Bangkok, I've found that I now see Thai people in a new light.
Bangkok is in fact a very congested city however there is a lively energy that permeates through it. The people there really know how to deliver for good food.
Which is why I am exciting to be back and excited to relocate from Siglap to the Golden Mile Complex. A well known institute for very authentic Thai food. Awesome!
Walking through the complex each time, my mouth waters thinking of all the delicacies on offer, though today I was particular excited to find Sa Ku, a savoury tapioca ball filled with turnips and nuts.
I can recall loving to eat this when I lived at my parent's house, though now it seems to be a rare delicacy as it had been hard to find since on my own.
Sa Ku is eaten wrapped in a lettuce leaf with coriander and chilli. The texture is glutinous and the filling is some what like the preserved turnip used in Singapore's Popiah.
I would definitely say that it is an acquired taste. In saying that, it's sounds very much like a typical Asian snack.
There is an amazing assortment of prepacked snacks and dessert from Diandian Leluk, in the Golden Mile Complex. I'm so glad it's now my local.
