Corn is a popular street food snack in Thailand. I've stopped numerous times at a street food stall for a cob of fresh, hot, sweet corn or chewy "sticky corn" (a special type of corn in Thailand with a starchy and chewy kernel).

This particular corn dish is a very traditional Thai snack made from cooking kernels of sweet Thai corn with milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. It's one of the most surprisingly complex Thai street food snacks, and one of my absolute favorites.

While it's not exactly traditional, the corn we ordered here was also topped with a huge portion of melted cheese and a dash of paprika.

It's a lot like a corn cob with butter, but even better because each kernel is soaked in butter, milk, and cheese. It's messy, and you have to eat it with a spoon!
