The original Khamon Phing has a sweet taste, fragrant, brown color, and immediately melts in the mouth. It was different from today as now it has more color such as pink, green, and yellow. In addition, the dessert is harder than the original. It look like this because it needs to protect from breaking when packing for sale. The original Khanom Phing packed in a small jar and adorned with ribbons to give as gift on [[New Year's Day]] or [[Valentine's Day]].
