Grass jelly, fragrant like bales of hay. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Very nice!

"Chao kuai (Thai: เฉาก๊วย, grass cake) is a jelly which is made by boiling the aged and slightly oxidized stalks and leaves of Mesona chinensis, a type of mint, with potassium carbonate for several hours with a little starch and then cooling the liquid to a jelly-like consistency. Originally a Chinese dish, in Thailand it is normally eaten with ice and natural brown sugar. This photo was made at the Sunday Evening Walking Street market of Chiang Mai, Thailand."
