Khanom farang kudi chin

Khanom farang kudi chin (Thai: ขนมฝรั่งกุฎีจีน, pronounced [kʰānǒm fa˦˥.raŋ˨˩ kūdīː tɕīːn]) is a Thai-style cake that was influenced by Portuguese desserts since the Ayutthaya era, during the reign of King Narai (1633–88).

Ayutthaya was a trading entrepot and had diplomatic relations with many European countries at the time, such as France, Spain, Holland and Portugal[1] After the fall of Ayutthaya and during the reign of King Taksin (1767–82), people migrated from the former capital to the new one located on Chao Phraya's west bank (now Thonburi), which included a number of Portuguese people.

[1] The Khanom farang kudi chin is a mixture of Portuguese and Chinese cakes.

It is topped with raisins, dried sweet gourds and white sugar without using any baking powder or yeast.

It is considered a unique dessert of the Kudi Chin community, but it has now been widely distributed to many other places such as Bang Lamphu or Wang Lang Market.
