Foi Thong

Foi Thong is a traditional Thai dessert of fine golden egg-yolk threads cooked in sugar syrup, often served at celebrations and inspired by Portuguese confectionery techniques. It’s known for its sweet, delicate texture and bright golden colour. Nutritionally, Foi Thong is a sugar-forward treat with 70g of sugar per 100g and provides modest protein from the eggs; it also contributes nutrients typical of egg yolks such as choline and vitamin A. From a health perspective, this is an energy-dense, high-sugar dessert; however, because it’s made from egg yolks it offers good-quality protein and some egg-derived micronutrients when eaten occasionally as a celebratory sweet.
