15:52 This one is an old Thai dessert since The Ayutthaya Kingdom called "Thong Eak" (Gold One), it is made from wheat flour, sugar, egg yolk and coconut milk. Mix and stirred fry with low fire until it became thick then pour in mold. Take out from mold and smoked with fragrance candle, decorated with pure gold leaf on the top. Many Thai's desserts in Ayutthaya era were created by a foreign lady "Marie Guimar". She was a Japanese man's wife who served as noble man to Ayutthaya's king. This dessert is one of her creation.
