History

Turning back to the past when Thailand was called “Siam”, it traded with other countries such as China or India for a long time. And they supported each other about trade including exchanging culture and food. Siam had a lot of friendships with other countries, they obtained and adapted food culture of other countries to suit their local condition. The ingredients or equipment included in food habits of Thai people made the new generation not be able to separate what is the real Thai dessert and what is adapted from the other food culture. For example the dessert that is made from egg yolk or baked came in to Siam in reign of King Narai by Maria Guyomar de Pinha or Thao Thong Kip Ma.

Every kind of nine auspicious Thai desserts has a good meaning that is why they are favored to be used in auspicious ceremony.^[2]
