Bamboo rice
This stall sells a typical traditional snack: sticky rice, palm sugar and coconut milk mix are mixed, put in a bamboo stick and then grilled. Originally made as a healthy snack easy to take on long journey’s the bamboo keeps the rice fresh and moist.
A royal snack
Bamboo rice is true local delicacy. When the Thai king visited Lampang 60 years ago, he was served one of these fresh green.
Peeling technique
How to graciously eat this wonderful snack? Break the bamboo in two then carefully peel into a fan of thin strips. Mrs. Janta Kruainta’s bamboo rice comes in two sizes: small (THB 25) or large (THB 50).
