I
would like to share with you one of the most beloved Thai desserts, Mango
Sticky Rice, known as Khao Niew Mamuang in Thai.
Mango
Sticky Rice is a traditional Thai dessert that combines creamy flavors of
glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk and sugar, paired with the sweetness of
fresh, ripe mangoes.
The
sticky rice, soft and slightly chewy, is the perfect complement to the juicy,
fragrant mango slices. To elevate the experience, optional toppings such as
roasted mung beans are often added, providing a delightful crunch and an extra
layer of flavor.
I
remember spotting some sweet mangoes in a Big Aeon supermarket in Shizuoka, but
they were incredibly expensive—around 1000 yen for just one mango! I can buy 1
kg of mango for 1000 yen in Thailand. Despite my strong desire to try them, I
had to resist the temptation due to the steep price.
Jeanne's rice pudding looked a kind of desserts but this rice, served on a plain plate, looks our staple food. That means I just cannot believe that this is dessert.
ReplyDeleteBut as for mango, I love it a lot. Mango is still expensive fruit in Japan, so I eat fresh one only 2~3 times a year. I, almost every day, eat frozen one with yogurt. I tried several frozen products and found most delicious one at the drug store nearby.
