Mango can be found in abundance in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand and Malaysia. Without doubts, mango is loved by many Southeast Asian, including you and me. Recently, there are plenty of mangoes sold for very low price in the market, since I am a mango lover, I have bought 4 kilograms of mango to enjoy!
With so many mangoes stored in my fridge, I started to think of making some desserts with mango, hmm,  how about the mouth-watering Thai dessert: Khao Neow Mamuang?
Khao Neow Mamuang or Mango Glutinous Rice Dessert is a well-known dessert in Thailand, it is extremely delicious yet super easy to make.  Beside mango, another important ingredient of this dessert is glutinous rice (sticky rice). Mango and Glutinous rice, such a great combination!
