Southern Thai Dessert Traditions
In Thailand, coconut trees are mostly grown in the southern and southeast regions. So, people in Thailand use coconut as part of their diets. Many famous dishes of Southern Thailand have coconut in them. However, they mostly use coconut as syrup while cooking curry. Coconut syrup has a natural sweetness and is always a good choice to use in desserts. Coconut-inspired drinks and desserts are the signature of Phuket. The journey to Phuket wouldn’t be complete without trying at least one of the coconut-based dishes. But, don’t worry. You will have a chance to try many legendary Southern Thai desserts, with or without coconuts, at Three Monkeys.
