Diary Note 1 : Take Some Dessert!

Do you like a dessert? Yes! Everyone in the world would say that. Cake, ice cream, waffle, cookie, Yummy! Most people would know the only  Western dessert, this time, I gonna talk about Eastern dessert that I have been eaten. 

1. Thong-Ek

Actually, I have to tell you first that most of the desserts are Thai dessert. It had been applied from Portuguese dessert. Thong-Ek or another name Wheat Flour Dumplings with Egg Yolks. This dessert is made of egg yolk, sugar, coconut, and flour, decorate with real gold. Thong-Ek means being the first. Thong-Ek usually uses in the important ceremony such as a ceremony or as a gift.

2. Charming Moon Or Rice Flour And Glutinous Flour Dumpling With Egg Yolk 

There is an old story tell about Charming Moon, one man picked a golden yellow fruit and brought to his mom but the fruit has disappeared, left only the gorgeous smell. At the midnight, on the full moon day, the man wanted his mom to taste the fruit. He went back to the tree he found the fruit. He met the woman that was finding the fruit for her dad and both of them got this fruit to home. Every full moon day, the man and the woman went out and found this fruit until they fell in love with each other and got marriage because of the charm of the fruit. This fruit brought the wealth, happiness, and grateful. 

Charming Moon is one of the felicitous sweet, use in a wedding and other important ceremonies.

3. Darathong 

Darathong

This is the most favorite sweet in this blog. It tastes sweet, crunchy, decorate with watermelon seed and gold. 

Darathong or Thong-Ek Kajang has been created in around 1900. Darathong is similar to Mongkung Petch but it is different by the ingredients but the outer is the same. 

Darathong is made of flour, egg yolk, coconut milk, and sugar. The recipe is exactly the same as Thong-Ek but makes marks around like a star gooseberry or pumpkin, put it on the crunchy tiny plate made of flour and decorate with watermelon seed cover with sugar and edible gold. 

This sweet is quite complicated to make but it really tasty and beautiful. When you come to Thailand, some people may say that Darathong is Jamongkut. In fact, Jamongkut is another kind of sweet that is different and created in around 1800. In the Thai dessert, book has written that Darathong is Jamongkut and this book is regarded as the original Thai dessert recipes. That why sometimes it calls Jamongkut
