A bizarre new pastry from Sai Wan Bake House in Pattaya, Thailand, has gone viral, simultaneously intriguing and grossing out the internet. Created by a professional pastry chef and baking instructor, the "Mor Aoi Croissant" is stuffed with fresh cream and topped with thin, jet-black strands that look identical to human hair.
While the exact recipe remains a closely guarded secret, many suspect the hair-like topping is finely shredded Fat Choy (black moss seaweed), an ingredient occasionally used in Asian fusion baking to introduce a savory balance to sweet desserts. Images and videos of the pastry exploded across TikTok and Instagram, drawing mixed reactions ranging from utter revulsion to deep fascination.
Priced at an affordable 65 to 70 Baht (around $2 USD), the creation proves that striking, scroll-stopping visuals are often the ultimate recipe for viral social media success.
