It's bigger but taste and texture is very similar. One type you didn't mentioned if Gluay Taa Nee. You might have left it out on purpose since it's not commonly sold in markets since it has a lot of big seeds and the tree itself is haunted with Nang Taa Nee ghost.. ^.^~~ A Thai grocery store I go to here in Virginia sell grilled plantains which to me is almost identical to Gluay Hak Muk.

Some variations of the dish also add pieces of banana flower in it. But actually it's used by the street food vendor to give the "mass" to the dish as it's much cheaper than chicken, I sometimes have problem finding a piece of chicken in a bowl full of banana flower!! Another dish I know (but can't give the exact recipe) is the banana flower salad "Yum Nokkhao" It's in gredients are much like those of "Wing Bean Salad" except that no peanut nor roasted coconut is used, and the wing bean is substitute with banana flower (grilled or baked, discard the outer petal, use only the inner white pieces) That's all I can tell, I'ii just leave the rest to cee, hehe :P Hi christine,
