‘Khanom Hwan’ or Thai Desserts

 

‘Khanom Hwan’ or Thai desserts are a Thai tradition that should be kept alive. As hundreds of Thai desserts are popular for their distinct flavours, sweet fragrances, amazing design and authentic colors, the art of ‘Khanom Hwan Thai’ has been passed down from generations to generations.

Most Thai desserts, carrying their names with ‘Thong’(meaning gold) e.g. Thong-yip, Thong-Yod, Foy-thong, represent success, auspices and prosperity. More importantly, their fresh ingredients are made from herbs such as green from cassava roots, violet-blue from blue flowers ‘Dok An-chan’. The colorful appearance makes the desserts delicate, delightful and sophisticated. Accordingly, these desserts are used on special festive occasions such as Buddhist merit-making ceremony, wedding party, new home celebration.

It is not surprising that ‘Khanom Hwan Thai’ requiring time and special skills for preparation has firmly kept its uniqueness among international cuisines.
