Mango with Sticky Rice - Thai Dessert

I wasn't from Thailand but this time I try to make a famuos dessert from Thai.

I ate this dessert while we had been gone at Seattle. We ate lunch at Thai Ocean, West Seattle. This is seasonal dessert and available on Mango season only.

It is the best way to enjoy mango and to pair the sweet fruit with sweet and salty coconut-milk sticky rice.

Here, I will share the recipe with you and maybe give you some ideas.

Please don't hesitate to drop me any comments or questions regarding this recipe, I need it to improve my cooking in the future. Thank you :-)
