The sticky rice that is used in this dessert is a common staple for many Thai dishes and desserts found throughout the country. To prepare the dessert, the sticky rice is cooked by steaming  and then added to a mixture of coconut cream or milk and natural sugar. It is then garnished with thick golden slices of the ripest mango one can ever have . The sticky coconut rice tastes like a tropical rice pudding while the soft mango provides a fresh and natural palate reliever. This is definitely one of the best Thai desserts on the streets and even in gourmet restaurants. You can’t go wrong by ordering this dish and it’s a favorite among locals. On the whole ,this dish is sweet, slightly salty and all round delicious. 

                                                                      


If you’re traveling with small children or your family and you’re looking for a delicious snack or after dinner treat, Khao Niew Ma Muang is a great go-to dish. The sweetened sticky rice is soft and easy for little ones to chew, so you won’t have to worry about children choking or hating the dessert. The fresh slices of mango are also very healthy and you’ll be assured that they ate a serving of fruit. Fortunately, a serving of Khao Niew Ma Muang won’t cost more than 40 Baht , so it will be less expensive than traditional Western desserts.

Important to Note :Mango Sticky Rice is best found at food courts and occasionally at Bangkok street food stalls. Though the dish is particularly popular when mangoes are in season from April to May, you will see stalls serving it up year round..so chill !!
