Here's a Thai snack that is popular with every generation of locals and visitors alike. This old school, handmade snack is called tup tap. The name comes from the sound that the wooden mallets make, during the pounding stage.
This popular snack is commonly eaten during the Vegetarian festival. The festival is an annual event from September through October. It's also known as the Nine Emperor Gods festival and has its origins with Chinese culture.
It is believed that abstaining from meat will bring good health and peace of mind.
Apart from that, they're one tasty sweet treat!
