Thai custard is an easy-to-make dessert containing eggs, sugar, and coconut milk as the main ingredients. It first made its appearance – due to the influence of foreigners – during the reign of King Narai the Great. It is rich in protein from eggs, complete with amino acids, fat, vitamins and essential minerals. (Eggs also contain vitamins A, D, E, K, and B-complex, and a variety of minerals: sulfur, potassium, calcium and iron). Consequently, eggs are both highly nutritious and economical and can form part of a person’s daily diet, keeping us healthy from childhood through adulthood. The elderly or those at risk from high levels of cholesterol in the blood may safely consume three eggs a week because the egg yolk itself is high in cholesterol. Egg white, however, can be consumed with impunity on a daily basis. Eating this wonderful Thai dessert, one obtains energy-giving protein, carbohydrate and fat.
