All-Coconut

So we were walk­ing past a Thai restau­rant, and it was the mid­dle of a busy Sun­day after­noon and all, and the colour­ful Thai desserts on dis­play caught our eye, as they are designed to. We stopped to see what we wanted to stuff our faces with, as they are designed to.

A wait­ress work­ing behind the dessert counter told us that the kueh were “min­i­mum six pieces, six dol­lars and five cents”, while we mulled over which six of the colour­ful tiles on offer to pick.

“What’s the yel­low one?”

“Coconut”

“The green one?”

“Coconut”

“Yah, we know, and so’s the white one, but what else are they made of? Can’t be all coconut and then just dif­fer­ent colour right?”

“Don’t know, but all got coconut”.

“OK, four white coconut one, one yel­low coconut one, and one green coconut one.

“I think the green one is pan­dan and coconut”
