Bua Loy
บัวลอย
Mild
Bua Loy are small, chewy glutinous rice flour balls served in warm sweetened coconut milk — coloured naturally with pandan, butterfly pea flower, or taro, making them visually striking.
Key Ingredients
- glutinous rice flour
- coconut milk
- palm sugar
- pandan
- butterfly pea flower
Where to Try It
Thai dessert stalls at markets and festivals; popular during winter festivals.
Tips
- The coconut milk broth should be served warm — Bua Loy eaten cold loses its comforting quality.
