Fios de ovos

Fios de ovos (lit. 'egg threads') is a traditional Portuguese sweet food made out of egg yolks, drawn into thin strands and boiled in sugar syrup. It is used as a garnish on cakes and puddings, as a filling for cakes, or eaten on its own. Through Portuguese trade and colonization, the dish has spread to many countries in Asia. In Japan, it is known as keiran sōmen (鶏卵素麺, lit. 'hen egg noodles'), in Cambodia as vawee (Khmer: វ៉ោយ), in Malaysia as jala mas (lit. 'golden net'), in Thailand as foi thong, and in the Malabar region of Kerala, India as muttamala. This dish is called letria in Goa. Fios de ovos is also popular in Brazil, as well as Spain, where it is known as huevo hilado. In Seville, it is shaped into peaked cones called yemas de San Leandro.
