Mango Sticky Rice

Breakfast at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport

Not exactly my idea of a proper breakfast, but my craving for this delightful dish turned out to be the choice of the first meal for the day. I vaguely remember a few years back when I was introduced to this Thai dish, I turned the offer down as I could not imagine mixing a savoury cooked glutinous rice with a fruity mango. Adding coconut milk as a topping simply translate the entire dish to a nightmare; that's was what I thought then.

 

Fast forward sometime later, I tried the same dish out of curiosity and I was taken aback - the combination tasted heavenly! I am amazed at how the Thai managed to develop such a beautiful dish without much fuss and decoration.

 

The latte was a bad choice, but I needed my caffine for the morning like usual. Glutinous rice is not easily digestible and coffee does not make things better. I'll have to give more thought to my drink when I have the mango sticky rice next.

 

Can't wait to return to Siam to have my favourite dish again. :)
