Festival del mango sticky rice

Two weeks of khao niao mamuang — the real name of mango sticky rice — in six versions.

The classic, with nam dok mai mango and glutinous rice steamed in banana leaf. One with toasted coconut and sea salt. One with green mango and sweet chilli, eaten as an afternoon snack in Thailand. Another with black rice, chewier and less sweet. A frozen one, in a glass. And the one the kitchen invented: with pandan cream, which left everyone asking for the recipe.

The festival is over, but the classic version stayed on the dessert list for good.
