A so-called hair croissant from a cafe in Pattaya, Thailand, has become an unlikely online attraction, because apparently the internet still has room for pastries that make people pause, stare, and question the menu.
The item is sold by Sai Waan Break House, a local cafe run by a trained pastry chef who also works as a baking instructor and consultant for other cafes in the Pattaya area. That background matters slightly here, since this is not just someone throwing a visual prank into a display case and hoping for chaos. The cafe says the croissant takes real pastry skill, not just a gross-out idea tossed into the case.
What is the Mor Aoi Croissant?
Locally, the pastry is called the “Mor Aoi Croissant.” The phrase “Mor Aoi” is Thai slang that loosely translates to “pubic hair” in English, which gives the pastry a fairly committed branding problem before anyone has even taken a bite.
The croissant itself features fresh cream topped with a dark, fine, hair-like garnish. That garnish is the detail doing most of the viral work, helped along by a name that seems designed to test how far curiosity can overpower instinct.
According to Khaosod Online, the exact recipe remains a closely guarded secret. Still, customers and online observers have made their own educated guess: the topping is widely believed to be finely shredded dark seaweed.
