Roti Samai

Some time last week, nana, ray and I went to Central Festival Mall pagkahatid nang lunch kay nano. First, pumunta kasi ako nang Hilton Hotel, sinamahan ako nang dalawa. Second, matagal tagal nang di nakapag-mall si ray at wala siyang oras. Third, wala lang din kami magawa. Hehe. Nung napadaan kami sa 3D Candy Store, bumili si nana nang cotton candy. Remember, random craver yung dalawa, kung ano lang makita nilang gusto, bibilhin nila. We just got one big vanilla flavored cotton candy for the three of us.

Actually, here in Thailand, they do something else with cotton candy. It's called Roti Samai or pronounced as " Roti Say May". The thai style cotton candy is wrapped in a sweet roti or just like the lumpia wrapper sa atin, but  it's a soft one, just like the one used for crepes and in pandan flavor. Paborito ito nang mga thai. Pinatikim sa akin nung dalawa nung makakita kami ni Ray sa isang talat (market) one time. According to thais, it originated from the old capital of Thailand which is the Ayutthaya.

It's a DIY (do it yourself) dessert. Ikaw magra-wrap nang cotton candy sa roti, depende sa dami nang gusto mo. Just pile the floss onto the roti and roll up! The more floss you use the better! It's so easy to assemble and the flavors are lovely and not too sweet. The candy floss melts in your mouth just like cotton candy does. It's a must try when you visit Thailand. You can see and buy roti samai in the streets and in the markets (talat). Okay, now I'm craving again. Enough! LOL.
