Roti Sai Mai – Thai Cotton Candy in Pancake Dessert

December 1, 2015 19 Comments

Just when I thought Mango Sticky Rice is enough for me to be a slave to Thai desserts, Pui brought these from Bangkok – Roti Sai Mai.

Its basically a popiah-type pancake sans the filling, because we have something yummier to fill them with.

Roti Sai Mai

Strands of cotton candy!

Some thought they looked like hair – Barbie’s hair to be precise! I am looking at you Ruth.

Roti Sai Mai

To assemble Roti Sai Mai, roll up the pancakes with some cotton candy strands inside. We had two colours to choose from and of course, I took a little bit of both – green and off white.

Fold in the sides.

Roti Sai Mai
And bite! YUM!!
They cost about 30 THB for one set that can feed 4 people (or just me). 
Ayuthaya is where Pui got these, but she says you usually get Roti Sai Mai “in all sorts of random places”. 
Erm.. so anyway, just keep an eye out if you ever visit Bangkok cuz these, my friends, are GOOD! 
Here’s a video in case you are interested to see how the ‘rotis’ are made. The way that dough flops about in her hand is a sight to see!

    It was interesting watching them make these, then I was offered one for free. Needless to say I brought some home, not enough! So good!

    hmm, the strands of "hair" remind me of the indian sonpapdi 😀 I'm wondering if that's an acceptable substitute? I followed your recipe for bread and now everyone thinks I'm a genius 😀 Thanks you, Nags…muuuaaah! Now I'm going to try the quiche next!

    The cotton candy looks so much like Sohan Paapdi doesn't it? Just trying to imagine these feather light rotis…must be great for savoury fillings as well..

    When I was a little girl, I used to call cotton candy, 'mhatariche kes' ( grandma's hair) 🙂
