ลอดช่อง
Mild
Lod Chong is a Thai dessert of pandan-flavoured rice flour noodles served chilled in sweetened coconut milk with crushed ice — cooling, fragrant, and deeply refreshing in the heat.
Cultural Origin
Lod Chong is a Central Thai dessert of green pandan-flavored rice-flour noodles served in sweet coconut milk over crushed ice, related to the broader cendol family found across Southeast Asia. The Thai version is closely associated with Singapore-Penang trade routes and is sold by old-style sweet-soup vendors across Bangkok.

Tips
