Chin Chow, Bangkok

Chatuchak Weekend Market

One of my favourite desserts in Bangkok is chin chow or grass jelly drink. The fun part about dining in Asia is that all the dishes are similar and yet different. The grass jelly in Bangkok is served with chipped ice, and topped with fine brown sugar that had the texture of molasses. You have to keep stirring it to mix it all up. The jelly is firm, unlike the ones in Taiwan. And it’s a great way to keep cool in the heat.
