Sensational Deserts At Mango Tango

“You need to try this!” my cousin told me.  I looked down at the plate and saw what appeared to be rice and cut up pieces of mango.  Rice and mango? I didn’t see how they complimented each other, but I gave it a try.  I still remember tasting the sweet mango mixing in with the rice in my mouth.  What I failed to notice about the rice at first was how it had coconut milk poured over it to produce a subtle sour taste.  That was over 5 years ago since my first encounter with mango and sticky rice.

For 5 years, I was deprived of what has today become a favorite desert of mine.  I say deprived because I don’t know of any places that sell it back in my hometown of Missouri.

Sure I could have found a recipe and tried making it myself, but I’m terrible in the kitchen.

I wonder if this is what’s used to collect mangoes from trees?…

Patience pays off.  My first bite into the dish was everything I imagined it would taste like.  I’m uneasy just writing and staring into this picture.  If you’re not a mango fan I still urge you to try.  I bet it will turn you into a believer.

Mango parfait with corn flakes.  I would rate this up there along with the mango sticky rice.

I’d eat a mango a day regardless.  There are a lot of places in Bangkok that sell mango and sticky rice.  If you happen to be in Siam Square that is where you’ll find Mango Tango.
