Khanom buang is a crisp rice-flour taco the size of a coin, filled with sweet meringue cream and topped with sweet shredded coconut or salty shredded shrimp and fried egg yolk.
Khanom buang appears in 18th-century Ayutthaya court records as a noble-household sweet, but the modern street-cart form spread through Bangkok's markets in the late 19th century. The contemporary stall divides the topping into sweet (foi thong egg threads, sweet coconut, meringue) or savoury (shredded shrimp floss, coriander). Or Tor Kor and Chatuchak markets both run dedicated khanom-buang counters where vendors press the rice-flour shell on a hot griddle and lift it crisp from the heat in 60 seconds.
