MANGO STICKY RICE

'Khao Neow Ma Muang'
is an authentic Thai Dessert.

In Thai,
Khao Neow is sticky rice and Ma Muang is Mango.

Combining these 2,
Mango and Steamed Sticky Rice,
we have this colourful and yummy dessert,
Mango Sticky Rice Dessert.

You can order it in expensive Restaurants, 

Specialty Dessert shops 

and 

also in Food-courts.

Of course, the difference is how elaborate it is served.

Mine is simple, 

with minimum decorations.

I have eaten some with scoops of coconut ice-cream,

piped whipped cream,

decorated with shaved ice & mint leaves,

and

laced with thick coconut cream.

The list is endless as how it is presented.

So, just let your imagination run wild

and 

come up with a personalized dessert.

These we ate at 'Mango Garden' Bangkok

Notes:
