Sweet and no sweat

During (Thai) summers, ripe mango has its best flavor of the season. It can be either eaten alone, as an exotic fruit, or served as a dessert with other sweetened ingredients involved; for a perfect dessert with a Thai twist, ripe mango usually served with khao-niew moon (sweet glutinous rice with kati coconut cream dressing), becoming the globally renowned 'coconut sticky rice with mango' or khao-niew ma-muang.

In downtown Bangkok, I found that Maewaree is one of the vendors where we can get a fix of the best khao-niew ma-muang (sweet glutinous rice a.k.a. sticky rice, with kati coconut cream dressing, served with ripe mango), and it is tourist accessible.

Cho Sornkaew Rainbow Sweet Sticky Rice

At Cho Sornkaew, we sampled one of Bangkok best sweet glutinous rice (a.k.a. sweet sticky rice) desserts (served with ripe mango) in eight natural color from Thai herbal leaves and fruits. Our share, the texture of glutinous rice at Cho Sornkaew was tender yet chewy, best sweet glutinous rice dessert I sampled in Bangkok. The ripe mango, unlike most other sweet glutinous rice with ripe mango dessert vendors offer, was aromatic enough and not too sweet.

No wonder Cho Sornkaew has stand strong in Bangkok for three decades even though its location is quite remote from the city center.

If finding Cho Sornkaew is a bit difficult, you may alternatively try the dessert at a roadside sweet glutinous rice dessert vendor at Chok Chai 4 Market (at corner of Chok Chai 4 Road and Lat Proad Road) that also stands strong in Bangkok for a decade.
