Finishing off a meal in Thailand

Most meals have ended with a fruit plate - pineapple, watermelon, cantalope, guava, and dragonfruit (which tastes a little like kiwi fruit, but white and much larger). The fruit plate also comes with some dipping powders. One dip is sugar crystals plus ground up plum (at least that's what they tell me) and I think a little salt. The other is sugar crystals and ground up Thai chilies. So if you didn't get enought spice with dinner or lunch, you can kick it up a notch with fruit dipped in ground up chilies. I keep hoping for some Thai Chile ice cream, but haven't found that yet!
