Talk to Me in Thai

Khanom Alua (Allure) is a traditional Thai dessert that is made of wheat flour, coconut milk, and sugar.

It is believed that the word ‘Alua’ comes from 2 sources. One is "Allure" in English which means attraction, draw, pull or from the French word "aleurier" which means ancient. Another source is "Halva" (halvah, halwa) - a Middle Eastern dessert in Arabic language.

This dessert is crispy outside but sticky and sweet inside. Khanom Alua or Allure is usually made in small colorful pieces, usually colored in green, pink, yellow and white. A good snack to enjoy with friends and family.
