    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.... :)
