Strange Biscuits









My gf and I went to Baling today to visit her grandma. We saw this strange looking biscuits in her relative house. They are mostly from Thailand. They don't know the chinese name or malay name for this biscuits. The only know the name in Thai.

Here is the 3 names for the biscuits:
Ka3Noom1Cha3La4
KaNoomTae2
KaNoomPo3Lo2
The first biscuit is KaNoomChaLa. Actually KaNoom means biscuit in Thai. ChaLa is actually web. This biscuit is made by flour, made it into stripes and mould it into web shape. And then wrap it into cylindrical shape. The biscuit is sweet and chewy.









As for the second biscuit, it's called KaNoomTae. Tae means Indian in Thai. I don't really know why they call this biscuit as Indian Biscuit. It's actually bread with pandan and orange flavour. Ahhhh, now I remember! The bread is yellowish, just like the indian bread we can buy from the guy selling bread with a motorcycle.









As for this one, this is the hardest to explain. This is KaNoomPoLo. Made by flour too if not mistaken. Crunchy biscuit with sugar toppings... I think I ate this before... hmmm...... maybe when I was a kid... small kid.... can't really remember though.... hahahhaa....


This picture is just for fun. We took this picture from my gf's relative house. Guess how big is this banana?? It's around 16 inches!!!!! The diameter of the banana is more than 2 inches!!! This is the biggest banana I've ever saw.
