‘Chor Muang’ is a traditional Thai savoury snack and can be ordered as starter. Its existence has been documented since the reign of King Rama II. It is regarded as an ancient royal dish and is marked by its carved flower-shaped appearance and indigo colouring from the Butterfly Pea flower. The name Chor Muang means ‘violet bouquet’.
The exterior batter is made from rice flour, arrowroot flour and tapioca flour, stirred together in a brass pan. The filling is seasoned fish or chicken fried with coriander root, garlic and pepper. Because the molding process into the flower shape requires delicate craftsmanship and takes a lot of time, drying out can be a problem – so Chor Muang has become rather hard to find. You will find it only in very special places...
You can find this delicious dish at The Mangosteen Restaurant. +66 76 289399.
