On my first trip to Bangkok, I was lucky enough to be served a perfect plate of coconut sticky rice with sliced mango. This dish was freshly prepared and the mango was delectable (it’s the main attraction). This famous Thai dessert has never been as good when I’ve had it in the US, perhaps due to the quality of the mangoes available here most of the year. If you’re lucky enough to live in a city that imports Alphonso mangoes from India (my favorite mango), buy some and serve them with coconut sticky rice. (Alphonso season starts in April and lasts just eight weeks.)
French niche line By Kilian launched Moonlight in Heaven last year; the perfume was developed by perfumer Calice Becker and is an homage of sorts to coconut sticky rice and mango…
