Bhan Kanom Thai

Bhan Kanom Thai sits behind a pale yellow facade, distinguished by the display cases of colorful, palm-sized desserts lining its front window. Since nineteen ninety-six, this shop has served as the primary source for traditional Thai sweets in Los Angeles. While many businesses in the neighborhood focus on savory noodles, this kitchen relies on recipes involving steamed coconut milk, mung beans, and sticky rice. Its founder, Preechaya Treenet, started the business to preserve the precise, labor-intensive techniques required for these authentic treats.
