When talking about Thai desserts unique to Songkhla, the first thing mr.hotsia thinks of isSongkhla Rolled Golden SnackA dessert that looks unassuming but whose taste and texture deeply captivate both locals and travelers like me in an incredible way.

The last time I visited Nang Ngam Road, a charming street of food and culture in Songkhla, I had the chance to try rolled golden snacks at a small shop near the old market. The aroma of coconut milk and palm sugar greeted me as soon as I entered. Seeing the shop owner carefully rolling the snack sheets, I couldn’t resist filming the atmosphere and preparation process for a clip.Watch the Songkhla Rolled Golden Snack video on YouTubeWhere you can clearly see detailed images and the step-by-step making process.

The Charm of Songkhla Rolled Golden Snack Beyond Its Flavor

Songkhla’s rolled golden snack differs from the usual ones I’ve tried because here they use fresh, fragrant coconut milk from local coconuts mixed with genuine palm sugar, creating a sweet, mellow flavor that’s not greasy. Importantly, the thin, crispy sheets are beautifully rolled—not too hard or chewy—and they melt crisply in your mouth.

Beyond deliciousness, the rolled golden snack reflects the culture and lifestyle of Songkhla people well. Most shops I encountered make the snack as a family tradition passed down through generations, using fresh local ingredients like coconut milk from coconut groves around Songkhla Lake and palm sugar produced nearby.

Strolling Nang Ngam Road: Experience Eating Rolled Golden Snack

Nang Ngam Road (formerly Khao Hong Road) is one of my favorite areas in Songkhla because it not only offers fresh seafood and local foods like rice stew or jar ice cream but also plenty of traditional Thai dessert shops to choose from. One of them is the rolled golden snack shop I mentioned.

Walking along Nang Ngam Road in the evening, holding a box of crispy rolled golden snacks in hand, feeling the gentle breeze from Songkhla Lake, I sense the simple happiness that Songkhla people preserve for visitors like us.

If you have more time, I recommend continuing to Kim Yong Market in Hat Yai, not far from Songkhla. There you will find pak kad dessert and many other local foods.Pak Kad Dessert at Kim Yong Market, Hat YaiAnother great local specialty that mr.hotsia highly recommends.
