📖 The Story Behind This Dish

When mango season arrives (March to May), stalls piled high with mangoes appear everywhere — it's the taste that tells Thais summer has arrived. The sticky rice is soaked in sweetened coconut milk and eaten alternately with the fruit.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A hot evening at a street stall, iced Thai tea in hand, the sweet smell of ripe mango in the air.
