History[edit | edit source]
The exact origins of thong muan sot are unknown, but it is believed to have been a part of Thai cuisine for centuries. The dessert is often associated with the Ayutthaya Kingdom, a historical kingdom in Thailand that existed from 1350 to 1767. The name "thong muan sot" translates to "soft gold roll", reflecting the dessert's golden color and rolled shape.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Thong muan sot is made by mixing rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar to create a thin batter. This batter is then spread onto a hot, flat surface and cooked until it is crispy. The cooked wafer is then quickly rolled while it is still hot and flexible, creating the dessert's characteristic shape. Some variations of thong muan sot may also include additional ingredients, such as sesame seeds or pandan for flavor.

Thong muan sot is not just a dessert, but also a part of Thai culture. It is often served at special occasions, such as weddings and festivals, and is also a popular street food. The dessert's sweet flavor and crispy texture make it a favorite among both locals and tourists.
