SnapBite: Sukij (Coconut) Ice Cream


Sukij (Coconut) Ice Cream
Hatyai, Thailand | 24 Sept 2012

Have you wonder what’s the taste of Thailand’s Sukij or Coconut Ice Cream? Hmmmm... Me neither! This is the best part of traveling, to experience everything you can take. So to kill my curiosity, I grabbed a cap and sensationally savored the distinction of its taste from any other dirty ice cream on the streets.

Sukij or Coconut Ice Cream is just a typical sorbet (of course coconut flavored) topped with kaong (sugar palm), a dried sugary-brown coconut fruit, shredded and sweetened young coconut meat, crouton (small cubed of toasted or fried bread), peanuts and concentrated coconut milk.

Its taste didn’t bring me to the seventh heavens but I liked it, nevertheless. Trying out local foods when traveling, it’s not always about the taste but the experience.
