Five years ago, I asked myself a question, "where can one try Thai dessert in Toronto?" Second questioned popped to my mind was, what was Thai dessert? That's when I realize the sad truth which turned out to be happy discovery.
There was this little 2nd floor office that my Thai friend took me that had desserts on weekends, and it wasn't a restaurant serving Mango Sticky Rice {as much as I love it}. The colors and flavours were both a kaleidoscope to my senses.
Four years ago, I found myself in Thailand and as it turns out I didn't have Thai dessert in a restaurant either but some street vendor on wheels. My Thai dessert horizons expands. Coming back to Toronto contracted my horizons once again but at the same time more unique authentic Thai restaurants appeared providing a minimal glimpse of hope.
To this day, Toronto is still a sad wasteland for Thai desserts so by now you should guess my justified bias for Patchmon's Thai Dessert. Most of the desserts they offered while I was at the small shop was coconut heavy, gelatinous, or flaky. The menu was surprisingly big in my opinion which is a good thing for customers and along with Thai friendly customs, they may make your special request items {I believe they said if you go on facebook} but you'll have to contact them.
