12) Pumpkin Custard from Pad Thai AVL
Not a candy fan? Try Sankaya or Thai pumpkin custard. It's a Thai-style inside out pumpkin pie in which a lightly sweetened coconut milk and egg custard is steamed inside of a hollowed out pumpkin. A perfect balance of textures, the steamed egg custard inside shows the influence of the Portuguese on Thai cuisine, who introduced the idea of adding eggs to desserts in the 1600's. To get this beautiful and delicious seasonal treat, stop by Pad Thai Asheville (pictured)!
