Sweet sticky rice with ripe mango is one of the most memorable culinary experiences for most visitors to Thailand and an eternal favourite of the Thais themselves.
This delectable and inexpensive Thai dessert pairs the firm consistency of sweet glutinous rice with slices of ripe juicy mango and a topping of coconut cream. A few toasted mung beans (tua luang) are sprinkled on top to give a crunchy finishing touch to a dish which is as much about texture as it is about taste.
Traditionally, this would be a seasonal dish but nowadays, with modern growing techniques, is available virtually all-year round. Simple but sensational and truly irresistible
