This garlic chive dumpling business is a whole family affair. The owners and their children work 7 days a week to keep these tasty treats rolling. They are so worth a try if you visit the markets of Bangkok. The Thai name is Kanom Gu Chai and is originally a Chinese dish called Teochew. Three types of flour is used in the making of the dough, rice flour, sticky rice flour and tapioca flour are all mixed with water, salt and a little sugar to make a soft dough that turns translucent when steamed. The fillings are mainly garlic chives but other fillings such as bamboo and taro are often used. They are served with a dark sweet sauce. You will most likely have to line up and wait to try these treats as they are so popular with the Thai locals and are often sold out very early. Location is Or Tor Kor market, Kamphaeng Rd Bangkok
