Meing Kham is a bit size snack of yumminess wrapped in a leaf, in my case lettuce leaf. It is from Thailand,. It looks great and I may think a bit too difficult, but if I can do it anyone can, and to be honest I loved the time it took to make, nothing difficult just pottering about in the kitchen; apart from the coconut shavings… there was nearly an artery slashed!!
Please have a go and enjoy. I made this for a friends get together to watch the Championship League final (which we will not mention ever again)..
serves 4 as a starter
