Khanom farang kutti chin

Khanom farang kutti chin is a traditional cake originating from the Kudi Chin community in Bangkok. This muffin-like cake was influenced by Portuguese and Chinese cuisine and it’s usually made with a combination of duck eggs, wheat flour, and sugar. The batter doesn’t contain any milk, yeast, or butter. Once baked, these small cakes are typically topped with raisins or dried sweet gourds. Khanom farang kutti chin has been recognized by Bangkok’s City Hall as one of the important “local wisdoms” of Bangkok that’s worth preserving as it displays a crucial intersection between Portuguese and Thai culture and cuisine.
