Yes, we do have a version of the waffle in Thailand! We call them “kanom rung peung” or literally “bee hive snack”, and they are made with coconut milk, palm sugar, shredded coconut, and studded with sweet corn, but you can change the corn to taro, raisins, or anything else you’d like.
Though I often eat these for breakfast (I freeze them and just pop them in the toaster), in Thailand they are sold on the street and are eaten as snacks any time of day (kind of like a doughnut!), and because they are already sweet and delicious on their own, you don’t need any additional toppings!
