The Incredible Story of Thailand's Portuguese

A Thai here! A lot of our desserts are actually of Portuguese origins/influence, especially ones made with egg yolk and sugar, often with "thong" (gold) in their names (eg. "Foi Thong" originating from "Fios de ovos")

[@Tiago-Martins]

The Portuguese, unlike many other colonial superpowers, were (and still are) a very small nation. They didn't have the manpower to occupy by themselves so many territories, from Brasil to Africa to India to Japan!... so since early on, they were encouraged to mix with local population, unlike the English, for example, who always distanced themselves from the locals (based on a false believe of superiority of race that culprited in apartheid regimes). The Portuguese were themselves a mixed race already because the Iberian peninsula had been colonized by many people over the centuries. We have Romanized Celtic, Goth and Moorish blood. We are definitely not "white", like some right wing folks proclaim. That's a total ignorance of the Portuguese History. 😅 We like to mix! 🎉
