Mango with Glutinous Rice [We love mango!]

I had this dessert few years ago when I visited Bangkok. I love glutinous rice and mango so this is definitely one of my favourite desserts. Another Thai dessert I fond on is icecream served with glutinous rice and topped with mango, tried that in Bangkok too.

When I made this, T and J didn't care much about the glutinous rice they simply loved the sweet and juicy mango. J ate so much that he complained "mama, tummy itai (ache)" then asked me to touch his little round tummy.

Ingredients:

2 cups glutinous rice (soaked for 4-6 hours)

1 cup coconut milk

2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 large ripe mango

2 tbsp coconut cream

Methods:

1. Steam glutinous rice for 20 minutes or until it is cooked.
2. In a saucepan combine cooked glutinous rice, sugar, salt and coconut milk and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes or until thick. Reduce heat and cover for 2 minutes.
3. Peel and slice the mango just before serving to maintain its freshness and sweet taste.
4. Mould the rice in the center of a serving dish and arrange the slices of mango on top of it.
5. Drizzle the coconut cream over the rice and serve. (optional)
