Go Neng's Chinese Doughnut

One of the best ways to familiarize oneself with a local culture is to taste its food. A morning visit to Thon Lamyai Market - adjacent to Warolos Market - in Chiang Mai City can be made into a fun activity by trying the Thai style breakfast of "Pla Tong Ko" or Chinese Doughnut with coffee at Go Neng's "Pla Tong Ko" stall. This hot and crispy Chinese pastry has become part of the Thai breakfast for many decades. But Go Neng has developed this typical twin shape Chinese doughnut into delightful creations of animal shapes, ranging from dinosaur, crocodile, elephant, pig, and dragon. During my recent visit, many customers were seen eagerly waiting in front of Go Neng's stall while he was busily demonstrating his pastry designing skills.

Chromosomes - Breakfast of Champions - Back in the 1980s, when living in Thailand, we didn't know what to call these so took to calling them, after their traditional elongated X form => Chromosomes. In Thai we later learned they were called Pla Tong Go. Pick of a bag of these hot, then dip them in the inch of sweetened condensed milk at the bottom of your glass of steaming French Chicory Coffee.
