» The lotus flower may be small in size, but culturally, it holds great significance for Thais and Buddhists around the world. The lotus, a plant that emerges from mud and rises above water, is a symbol of purity. Symbolically, it cleanses and purifies. Buddhists use lotus flowers as offerings to convey their sincere respect for monks and venerated figures in Buddhism.

Cooked-to-order food shops don't keep duck eggs at the ready for customers, who are very unlikely to ask for them.
