Before Iwrite anything else, I will tell you now -
SOAK THE RICE OVERNIGHT!!!!!
Right… now that’s out of the way, I can continue with the rest of the recipe. There is nothing worse than thinking “Hmm, I might make some sticky rice for dessert tonight…. Damn it! Soak it? Overnight?!… GRRR!”
This recipe came about after I didn’t read a recipe right, and not realising what I had in the cupboard…. again. I’m beginning to find out that this is a very bad habit of mine, but hey, we end up with something delicious anyway!
This can be served cold, or warmed. To heat, just place a serve of rice into the microwave for 40 seconds, then add the fruit and icecream. Also, because the rice does not have any sugar added, you could serve the rice with savoury dishes too.

1 cup of Glutinous Rice – SOAKED OVERNIGHT in LOTS OF WATER
165ml can coconut milk
165ml can coconut cream
pinch of Salt
Palm Sugar Syrup

6. Scoop out a serve of rice, pour over a tablespoon of syrup. Heat if you wish and serve with Bananas and Mango, or strawberries and icecream.
where do you buy thai sticky rice in Brisbane, I want to cook mangos and sticky rice but don’t know where to get the rice.
Hi Trish,
i bought a pack from Chinatown in the Valley. Don’t remember the name of the place! but it’s one of the big supermarket-style stores in there. If you live on the southside try Sunnybank stores as well. Be prepared to be in the shop for a while – they usually have such a multitude of produce and ingredients – they’re a foodie’s heaven! You can also get a black rice version. Tastes very similar – just a lot more visually striking!
Cheers for visiting the site

thanks Sarah, I managed to track some down in a shop in Castledine which is handy for me as I live on the south side..The rice is now on to soak as I plan to serve it at a dinner party tomorrow.
I have not had Mangos and sticky rice since we lived in Changmai, Thailand. I suddenly had a craving for it, trying to capture my youth maybe.
I am going to try your recipe and will let you know how it goes.
