Giant cakes and cupcakes takes center stage this week at Central Plaza, Phitsanulok. Not to mention a host of sweets and desserts that Thais love – cakes decorated with fresh fruits, ice creams from locally made coconut ice cream to the fancier gelatto, cakes and pastries and breads… The theme is Sweet Stories and it’s all about sweets. Central Plaza Phitsanulok opened last October 20 and I have been a regular every weekend. They’ve had different kinds of exhibits since then, a pet show where a lot of puppies where sold. That time, didn’t stay too long as I might be tempted to bring home the cute little beagle I fancied.
The roti booth was very popular. The cook deftly kneaded the roti dough into paper thin rounds and fried into a roti wok.
Once it started to crisp, the roti is fold into two, then divided into 8s. You can ask for different filling, from bananas to cashews, to something like shredded yolks of salted eggs. Or you can have it plain, just add condensed milk. This is a favorite dessert for me as it reminds of my favorite creps.
There are also different ice creams, from coconut ice creams where it is served in coconut shells…
To Kori, one of the ice cream brands that is probably sold by a coffee and ice cream shop that is popular here.
I also drooled over the the confections from Chef Bakery… cakes decorated with fresh fruits! The cake is absolutely delicious and you can order low-fat cakes from them too. I still have to find where their shop is as I learned they also sell whole wheat flour for my bread making activities.

Lovely cakes. yummy! Mukhang kakaiba!
is rotti like a pancake that is sold in the street for around 20 baht and comes in banana chocolate filling and other flavors? That’s my favorite snack in bangkok.
Yup, that’s it. Sarap diba?
Hi Gay,
Have you tried the real prata with curry sauce? .. yun nilalamukos ng kamay pagkatapos lutuin at bago ibigay sayo.. better yun!
(lalayo ka na lang nga habang ginagawa para ‘di mo makita ang pagluto nila)
Ano nga ba tawag nun? I see it around, lalo na pag breakfast. Not yet. Maybe one of these days I will try. Ganun talaga dito, kinakamay yung paghalo ng food. Sanayan na rin lang hehe. Masarap naman.
