Description
Crunchy raw Guava is served with a dry salt-and-Falang Ki Nok - Pink Guavagranulated sugar dip seasoned with crushed chilli called prik kab kleua or a savoury chilli dip prepared by blending palm sugar with fish sauce heated to a caramel-like consistency called nam pla wan. No one seems to know how the Thais came to call the Guava by the same name used for Westerners, but perhaps the fact that the fruit originally came from Spain had something to do with it. In any event, the Guava is one of the most popular fruits for snacks, eaten either ripe or when still green dipped in a bit of salt or sugar.
