What Mango Sticky Rice is
Mango sticky rice is a Thai dessert built on glutinous rice, a short-grain rice that turns dense and chewy when steamed rather than boiled. The cooked rice is soaked in sweetened coconut milk while still warm so it absorbs the coconut rather than being coated in it.
It is a seasonal dish in Thailand, traditionally eaten in the hot months when mangoes are at their best, and it is usually served at room temperature rather than chilled.
On the Tiger's Garden menu: Sweet sticky rice, fresh mango, coconut cream. See Mango Sticky Rice on the menu.
