Khao tom mad ((タイ語:ข้าวต้มมัด), , ) is a Thai traditional dessert made from sticky rice, coconut milk, and bananas. It's usually covered in banana leaf or coconut leaf. Other names for ''khao tom mad'' are ''khao tom kluai'', ''khao tom phat'', and ''khao tom luk yon''. ''Khao tom mad'' is also found in other countries such as the Philippines. In Thailand, ''khao tom mad'' is the symbol of couples because the couple are matched and bound together with thin bamboo-strip (string). Thai people believe that if a pair of people offer ''khao tom mad'' to monks on Khao Phansa Day, which is beginning of the 3 months of Buddhist lent during the rainy season and the time when monks retreat to a monastery and concentrate on Buddhist teachings, married life will be smooth and there will be a stable love like a pair of ''khao tom mad''. ''Khao tom mad'' is also a traditional Thai dessert for Awk Phansa Day (the end of Buddhist lent in late October.), but it is then called ''khao ton luk yon''. It is wrapped up in a palm leaf with long-tails to hold before tossing them to a Buddha image, after which monks can carry them away. == References == * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khao tom mad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
