Khao Niew Mamuang is a very popular, traditional Thai dessert comprising of fresh yellow sweet mango with sweet sticky rice often served with coconut milk and small dried salted yellow mung beans. The taste is fresh, sweet but a little sour and is enjoyed by Thais and foreigners equally.
The desert is readily available almost all year round, but is particularly popular in the summer mango season when the price of mango halves. It is little known, but the desert with sticky sweet rice, coconut milk and dried mung beans, can also be made with durian (the rather smelly but delicious Thai fruit) and jack fruit amongst other fruits.
