Looking for Look Choob(Loog Choob) Supplier in the NW Burbs

Hello,

Wow, it's been 3 years since I've posted here and it's really changed since! Glad to be back though! I will definitely be doing a lot of reading up! Though, I'm sure it doesn't go back that far!

Anyway, my question to all you foodies in the Chicagoland area, I need your expertise in finding a shop/restaurant, etc. that takes orders for LOOK CHOOB (or LOOG CHOOB). It's a Thai Dessert made of yellow mung beans, shaped into little vegetable/fruit shapes (I think look choob means "little fruit" or "miniature fruit"), painted, and dipped into a gelatin. It looks really shiny and cute! And, very addicting!

Here is a link to it....it's the third picture down of thai desserts in this article:

If ANYONE can give me any insight/information on how to obtain these little sweet morsels of awesome in large quantities, please let me know!

Thanks a bunch!

I believe Thai Pastry on Broadway carries them and they are quite delicious.

Thai Pastry also makes the best pad kee mao I have had in this city. Bar none.

Thanks, Habibi!

I'm hoping someone in the burbs can give me another place closer to me out here in Streamwood that may be selling them. My only supplier is my sis-in-law's dad who gets them from an undisclosed source. So, I am trying to find out myself if I can get them without having to go through her dad all the time.

And, oh I love Pad Kee Mao....yummy yummy! Man, I should have some soon now....
