Patango or Thai Donuts, Amnerica has there breakfast donuts with jam, Thailand more than likely with Thai congee, both make a complete and filling breakfast, also the patango goes great with a freshly brewed coffee and is extremely cheap and quick to make.
You can make them in any shape you want, obviously round balls are the quickest and easiest, but the man at the market who made these ones in the photos was a real professional and liked them made into circles, takes a bit longer but for presentation he gets 10 out of 10.
Deep-fried dough stick is called Patango in Thailand. In the morning you can easily find them being made by street vendors and they're very inexpensive.
