History

Maria Guyomar de Pinha is the queen of Thai desserts during the Ayutthaya period. She created many desserts, some of which were influenced by Portuguese cuisine, such as curry puffs, khanom mo kaeng, thong muan, thong yot, thong yip, foi thong, and khanom phing. These desserts were presented to King Narai and Princess Sudawadi, who was the daughter of King Narai. Khanom mo kaeng was served to King Narai in a pot which was made from brass.[3]
