This is Sabaidee Kitchen Lao Thai Food, a Thai-Lao casual dining venue specialising in Thai and Lao dishes. The venue also offered a selection of traditional Thai sweets.
The sweets were priced at $2.00 for 1 piece, $5.00 for 3 pieces, $6.00 for 4 pieces, $7.00 for 5 pieces and $8.00 for 6 pieces.
Wun Gati Bai Toey
The sweet featured alternating, distinct layers of vibrant green pandan-flavoured jelly and a creamy white coconut milk layer seasoned with a pinch of salt. The pandan was relatively mellow, with a soft grassy-vanilla profile that complemented the nuttiness of the coconut without dominating it. The coconut layer was rich and creamy, while the salt provided a subtle savoury counterpoint. The agar agar produced a crumbly texture that was less appealing than the bouncier texture of the tapioca-based sweets.
Khanom Chun
The sweet featured alternating, distinct layers of vibrant green pandan and duller yellow mung bean. Together they produced a sweet flavour with a subtle richness from coconut milk, although the pandan presence remained relatively muted. The texture was smooth, slightly sticky and distinctly bouncy, which we particularly enjoyed. The mung bean layer contributed an earthy character without developing an overtly beany flavour or texture, adding depth while retaining the soft, cohesive structure.
Woon Maprao
Unlike the opaque layered sweets made with heavier coconut milk, this was a semi-clear, firm block made from sweetened young coconut water. The agar agar gave it a firm, snappy and slightly crumbly texture, while small pieces of tender fresh young coconut meat were suspended throughout. These pieces were relatively sparse, so the coconut meat provided only occasional textural variation.
Overall, the Thai sweets were defined by pandan, coconut and mung bean flavours, with noticeable variation in texture depending on the setting agent and ingredients used.
