After visiting several pagodas, Anita and I happened on one of the numerous street market, which was very much like a street market in Cambodia, vendors hiding from the intense sun under huge umbrellas.
There was the standard sleeping vendor
People making snacks, we stopped to watch a young lady make small white balls coated with a green sticky covering. Of course none of us spoke the others language so we do not know what it was called or contained. We watched as the young lady carefully cooked the green sticky covering on a banana leaf grill, yes the grill was a banana leaf stretched over a dish of hot water with a heat source below it.
I think the green sticky stuff might be called "glutinous rice". They sell these sweets here at the Asian supermarket on rue de Laeken in central Brussels. Not much taste to it indeed but nice.
