I just re-read your post. My bad. Yeah, the kra-tib (kra-tip) would probably mean take-out. I have probably eaten my weight in sticky rice (Khao Neow) quite a few times. It’s also used in a classic mango dessert that’s to die for. Yep, N.E. Thailand. I lived in a village outside of Udon Thani. She very well may be from there, but if not, definitely from that area. I wanna go!

Tell her if she’d make me a big ol’ plate of Kai Yut Sai (w/pork) and a giant pot of Kao Ka Moo, I’ll fly up there and spend the weekend with her to eat it. Tell her I’d like a couple of boiled eggs with pickled greens on the side with the Kao Ka Moo. They are two of my all-time favorite Thai dishes and cannot be found in ANY Thai restaurant in the States.

BTW, here's a kra-tip. They'd normally fill it with sticky rice.
