00:00I believe most people have tried this delicious snack, Kluay Kaek or Kluay Tod, but what's
00:08the difference?
00:09The name Kluay Tod makes perfect sense.
00:12It simply means fried banana, bananas, batter, and hot oil.
00:17Simple, right?
00:18But Kluay Kaek is more intriguing, where did this name come from?
00:23In the past, deep frying wasn't common in all Thai cuisine.
00:27Most dishes were boiled or steamed.
00:29As people from different cultures, especially Indian immigrants, arrived in Thailand, they
00:34brought their cooking styles, including frying.
00:37It is believed that Kluay Kaek came from Indian immigrants, which is how it got its name.
00:41In Indonesia, they call it Bee Sang Goreng.
00:45Whatever you call it, Kluay Kaek or Kluay Tod, one thing's for sure, it's crispy,
00:52sweet, and absolutely delicious.
