Another thing in this marker that I like to eat is crispy noodles. (Thai is called "Mi Krop")

Mi Krop are a Thai snack that has been eaten since ancient times. They are white rice noodles that are fried until crispy. Then mix it with a sauce that has a mellow sweet-sour taste. Eat it as a snack and it's really enjoyable.

This stall has a special recipe. He stir-fried crispy noodles for customers to see in front of the stall. The fragrant of the sauce attracts customers to stop by and buy. He sends out sample desserts for customers to try. They come in many flavors, such as tamarind flavor (orange) , pineapple flavor (yellow) , and okra flavor (pink). I buy tamarind and okra flavor.
