Walk into any Thai wedding and you'll find a tray of tiny golden sweets: thongyib (ทองหยิบ, “pinched gold”), pinched into five-petal flowers, and thongyod (ทองหยอด, “drops of gold”), shaped as small golden drops. The current menu describes both as egg-yolk sweets, and because thong means gold, their names carry the language of prosperity.
Thongyib and thongyod are the two sweets in the cafe name. OurSignature Thongyib Thongyod Set (149฿) pairs the traditional sweets with ice cream — old royal court, new seaside cafe. If you read the full story behind the golden desserts, we wrote a whole guide to Thai desserts.
