Jae Nee’s Snowed Taro
Not far from the Kanomjeen shop, you’ll be greeted by the wafting sweet and inviting scent of Jae Nee’s (Elder Sister Nee) snowed taro. The place has been around for a very long time, along with its good quality. The soft and puffy snowed taro glazed with sugar works perfectly in keeping the crispiness on the outside and the softness on the inside; a perfect blend of sweet and salty. The sweets come in two sizes, costing 100 baht and 200 baht. Jae Nee also offers crispy purple sweet potatoes, crispy pumpkins and crispy krong-kraeng for 60 baht per pack.
The Old Ewe-kwai
Chinese curry puff is a Cantonese dessert which has been around since ancient China and quite rare to find. ‘Ewe’ in Chinese means oil while ‘Kwai’ refers to desserts in general. ‘Ewe-kwai’ means dessert fried with oil with various fillings. There are four fillings of different shapes available in the shop; cabbage, chive, bamboo shoot, and taro. The shop is situated on the corner of the road, in front of the shrine. They are freshly made daily at limited amount for 20 baht apiece.
