BANGKOK (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Thai snacks often have amusingly perplexing names, like "Coconut pancake”, known as "Babin" in Thai. However, "Babin" has no connection to pancakes or coconuts — in Thai, it means daredevil.

The taste of Babin is pleasantly mild, not overly sweet or greasy, with a delightful aroma. Its main ingredients include glutinous rice flour (either black or white), coconut, coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and salt.
