Num Poum (Cambodian Coconut Waffles)
Num poum are Cambodian-style coconut waffles. They are a popular street food eaten as a dessert (even though I still ate them for breakfast). The waffles are sweet enough from the palm sugar, coconut milk and cream, that they aren’t eaten with syrup. The rice flour gives the waffles a crispy outside and a chewy inside.
