About this dish
Thong yip or pinched gold egg yolks is one of the nine auspicious traditional Thai desserts. It is usually made for important occasions and ceremonies such as weddings, ordinations, and housewarmings. Thong yip was brought to Ayutthaya Kingdom by Maria Guyomar de Pinha who was eventually enslaved in the royal kitchens after Phetracha gained power in the Siamese revolution of 1688. Thong yip originates from the Portuguese sweet trouxas das caldas.
