Your brother, as you said, is a REAL sculptress!

[@erictan4883]

lovely! It's fun to make these such fancy edible fruits sculptures. ohyea

[@rafaelnieljamot7496]

Oooohhh! 😍 they look yummy! I haven't tried "look choop" yet but I will try it if I'm in Thailand once this whole pandemic is over! Btw. P, please make ขนมลืมกลืน. (IDK if the thai characters were correct. but I'll sue my frnd it wasn't. Just kidding. 55555) Anyway, that's my fav. I forgot how my friend brought it from the TH 🇹🇭 to the PH 🇵🇭 I guess it was put in the cargo for it not to be affected by the pressure while the plane is in the air. Not sure. 55555 but it was so great and delicious! Nananana 🙏🏻☺️🙇🏻‍♂️ ♥️♥️♥️ from the PH

Do you think if I melted sugar with some water it would create the same silicon for the glaze

I love how close to the breakdown she was when she was like “it only took like four hours to do these ten pieces”. 😂 I really relate to that feeling.

[@gialuanthang7716]

This surely brings back so many memories. When I was around 5 or 6 years old, just in elementary school (probably 2003-2004), I would tag long my grandma to the local market, and I would always ask her to buy this for me. We don't really call it by any name, just bánh đậu xanh, mung bean cake (mung bean khanom), and it was so interesting because it had different shapes. Not only fruits but sometimes animals, at least in my neighborhood. These things gradually disappear and I couldn't find them anymore in Vietnam, but always get some when I'm in Thailand.

[@MagdaNarima]

Same I used to have it when I was a kid!! I loved to get this when I went to the local market with my mom too. The only difference is my experience was in Indonesia 😊

[@gialuanthang7716]

@@MagdaNarima we Asean brothers and sisters enjoy so many great things together lol our food, snacks and desserts are impeccable 🤣

[@rosemariefernandes6600]

We Asians take so much pains to make food n sweets. It's a labour of love for our loved ones.

[@Dark_diaries_Joy]

Hellooo I did it but my agar agar was very thick although I did as you did 1 and half cup of water and 1 tablespoon of agar agar, but I didn’t know when It’s done

[@nikowearden252]

I can say with absolute certainty that I will never be making this recipe but this video gave me the most amount of joy everrrr! I laughed so much when you said 'only 4 hours for 16 pieces', but those wee fruits are so beautiful!

[@giftwalsh9057]

I just got to watch this video with my husband yesterday. This is an amazing way to keep him occupied for hours while I get my stuff done. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@At.valencia]

I made this when I was in the junior high in Thailand. There was a class once a week that teach us like how to make food or dessert then bring my finished dish home for my parents and my grandmother to try. They laughed everytime because some dishes didn't look close to call that name. I’m really miss those moments. Thanks for the recipe it brings me back my childhood memories.

[@derrickwan1304]

This recalled so much memories, the first time I have this at a free market in Thailand. I don’t know what is this at the first time, but the second I bit into one, my life was changed.

[@mustloveeyeshadow7799]

Looks delicious. I used to love getting these from my local market when I lived in Thailand. They were so creative with the shapes and every day there was new one. My favorite was in the shape of a rubber ducky. I may have to try this some time.

[@tanography2345]

The editing of this episode is way fancier!

[@kenken471]

I got really interested in Thai desserts because of "Until We Meet Again". 🥰

[@DopeTaupe]

I loved these as a child! I had no idea it was so tedious to make. No wonder you don't really see them in stores anymore.

[@toyshanger8945]

I watched your video and another Thai video to take in how to do this because nobody makes it here in Australia or is very expensive when I know someone that makes it. I used my blender and did the same. The wok definitely is required and I took about good 30-40 minutes depending on portions. So when you divide into 7g each, you might to re knee them as it might be a bit dry and might have cracks if you don’t redo by rolling and making them smooth then start shaping them. Colouring Be smart! Do yellows, mangoes, lemons etc, add some red to become orange than do oranges and carrots that saves you wasting colour Agar agar powder, but the Thailand brand as the cheaper ones don’t set as fast and the Thai version is really good. Thank you so much for this video.

[@tavitlertritsumpun7160]

Hi Pai and Adam, You were right you didn't sell it very well. With the last comment 4 hours to make 16 little fruits but it's not the efficiency we are looking for. It's the participation especially with kids. And this also makes wonderful gifts.

[@leahewing3707]

I just made these with my roommates (we're all graduate students) and they look terrible but we had so much fun and they taste good! Thanks for the recipe!

[@borderyang]

finally! a recipe thats easy to follow. i’ve tried other recipes but instructions were not so clear as this. thanks so much~

[@adxiong8804]

It’s surely one of those “everyone wants to eat and nobody wants to make it” kind of foods. Beautiful though....

[@tsuribachi]

My first hand experience on the bean: don't make too big of the batch in 1 go that it overwhelms the wok, it makes it difficult to stir and some part will burn don't let the it get to "very bubbly boiling", I got burnt by splashing bean paste for that edited: for the leaf in many recipe I see they mention ใบแก้ว (Orange Jasmine, Murraya paniculata)

[@StrifeXFair91]

Omg I love these. They are my childhood food (even though I'm from Singapore) when my grandma returns from her vacation in Thailand. Now, I would always go on a hunt for these whenever I'm in Thailand. Thanks for sharing how to make these beautiful gems! Can't wait for travels to resume to eat these again!

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

Just go to a Thai grocery store. They should have it.

[@hellolisalin]

These are so cute, Pailin!!

[@Terenia531]

So beautiful, Pailin! Thank you for taking the time to show us all the steps!

[@MsKScreations]

Great video very helpful with good tips. Thank you. I have been thinking of trying to make these again but it does seem to take a lot of time. They are so cute and I love mung bean paste so I hope to make these soon. Last time I attempted I ended up just putting them in small different shaped molds for ease and no agar agar or just eating the paste. Every thing you mentioned is so true. Your video was fun to watch. I laughed every time you did. Your fruit turned out adorable. Great idea with the real leaves! Glad I found this video, it now seems more doable.

[@forces336]

It's a dessert that is called Marzipan. Also an adaptation of Portuguese dessert which uses almond flour which is not available in Siam (Ayutthaya or early Bangkok).

[@kesitheguesser716]

Pai thanking her pandan leaf for its services reminds me of my favourite aunt!

[@MiwaKaursKitchen]

I used to make this when I was a child too! Sweet memories 💕Thanks for the great video Pai!

[@andrewphoa8790]

So cute! Mini fruits!

[@ladyliddie7721]

A tip for anyone who wants to try but doesn't want to spend the time...turn it into a once a year holiday treat! As a prep for any given holiday (or birthday) you can spend a day with the kids or spouse and make them. If it's a tradition, it's not such a chore. But a fun memory to look forward to every year 😁 or you can give it as a gift. Especially if you make the dough in advance, you can watch a show while rolling the shapes!

[@jwyuto_ian]

I'm smiling the whole time watching this because it's so funny and cute. I LOVE THESE SNACKS!! Such a great presentable snack for a family dinner.

[@Kimmy-zr7tu]

Always curious how these little fruits are made, this is so interesting and I can’t wait to try them when I’m in Thailand. The process is so tedious and really admire you and vendors for preparing these mini things which take hours

[@kellyh7158]

Omg this was SO COOL to see you make!!! I remember traveling to Thailand with my family and seeing these being sold at the street vendors and they always looked so pretty. Yours turned out great and look exactly like them! Although I remember tasting them and not being the biggest fan of them as far as Thai desserts but that could just be personal preference. Thank you for sharing this recipe! It’s really interesting to see how they are made

[@NekaMusaraj]

Loveeee procedures including food coloring makes it look so entertaining to prepare.

[@robinxjames]

I love these treats! I remember whenever I go to Bangkok to go bargain shopping, at Platinum mall, I always buy these in small plastic boxes and munch on them while shopping! ❤️

[@xLarae]

Thanks for posting this. We had this on a holiday trip to Bangkok as we were touring the local markets and found a vendor selling it. We tried to ask what it was but communication was an issue there. Nevertheless, we tried it anyway and I never had anything like it! It was super delicious and now I finally know what they were made of

[@jessicagl5569]

I learned about Thai culture in this video; Thanks! Very cute sculptures! Great for a rainy day. I would only make permanent sculptures with all that work, hehe. love your channel.

[@cohlinn]

You can also use the tips of herbs like mint or dill for leaves. I've seen 🥑, 🍎, brinjal 🍆, durian, dragon fruit, and watermelon too.

[@ThaiGirlintheKitchen]

Look Choop 😍 Reminds me of my childhood making this with Grandma. Looks really cute and yummy ka 😋

[@2eyedrav3n12]

Thanks Pai for the great tips and tricks. Will use them the next time I make these. The last time I made this, I was feeling ambitious and made mini dragonfruits. Almost died for that ordeal, 5 hours of work for 18 pieces. XD

[@PailinsKitchen]

OMG dragon fruit!!! Good for you for trying!

[@annbrookens945]

I think oranges might be the most efficient fruit to shoot for! A nice simple shape and color...

I’ve never known it was this ‘doable’ to actually make luk cup. Since living in NZ it is very rare to discover or find authentic SE Asian Cuisine/Desserts or source good quality authentic ingredients, but to know that I am able to make one of my childhood favorites is amazing! It is definitely a labor of love but the outcome is outstanding and so heartwarming! Are you familiar with Lapis by chance?

[@eleo_b]

@@adamthehtkminion6750 I’m in the Netherlands, marzipan is a typical holiday treat around Christmas time. Bakeries will often have a huge one in the shape of a pig (why?!), or small ones in fruit shapes. From the big one, you can then purchase a slice. But marzipan is a love-or-hate treat here too. But you should definitely taste almond, not just sugar.

Late reply but hope my comment help. Search YT for "Yen Ta Fo "Pink Noodle Soup" Recipe เย็นตาโฟ - Hot Thai Kitchen!" also from Pai. It's the dish Thai adapt from Yong Toufu though it changed a lot over time. In the old days (about 70-80 years ago) it was more closed to the original.
