It’s the time of year for one of our favorite treats at Thai and Vietnamese restaurants: Mango with sticky rice. It’s almost never on the menu, but a polite inquiry is often rewarded.
The dessert is a seemingly simple one: Half a fresh mango and a mound of warm sticky rice that’s been anointed with coconut milk. Even if the mango is still slightly underripe, it’s a divine indulgence, worth the calories. Tart and sweet, smooth and chewy, cool and warm–oh, yeah, more, please.
Don’t forget.

I remember the first time I tasted this — I was prepared to hate it, but I just couldn’t…. it was too good!
