Mango and sticky rice, where to get it?

[farman 11]

We visited Hua Hin last year on our last visit to Thailand and i tried Mango and sticky rice from a stall on the side of the road for the first time and WOW how nice it was.

 

We are in Pattaya march next year and i want my girlfriend(English) to try it as she never got a chance to while we were in Hua Hin.

 

Im not a newbie to Pattaya, ive just never eaten it there and i cant recall seeing it for sale on the side of the road around beach road up to second road or walking street.

 

Where can we find it?

 

Thanks in advance.

Might be the same stall. There is a small covered market on the north side of Pattaya Klang, just west of Soi Buakhao that has a vendor that has been selling mango and sticky rice for years.

If you want a slightly more upmarket place, try the top floor food court of Royal Garden Plaza.

There are two stalls selling mango and sticky rice at that location. Both have very good products, with the mangoes ripened to perfection. There is also a stall on Pattaya Tai a couple of blocks west of Tuk.Com that sells mango and sticky rice as well as a wide assortment of other Thai sweets. There is at least one other stall on the street behind Tuk.com that runs parallel to Pattaya Tai.

There is one on the Beach Road enterance of Pattayaland 2 (or is it 1) ; always pass by it very late at night. There is also one in the Central Basement food court. The supermarkets in Central and Big C also sell them.

 

There is a variation of it ; using the same sticky lice and dulains but the dulains are not the sweet or bitter/sweet (pungent to a falang!) type of malaysia so its not that great to me!

Yes, I went by there today, and there is one on each side of the small soi pointed out on the map.

 

I also counted 2, and maybe 3, sticky rice vendors across from Wat Chai today.

 

Unfortunately, there was no place to park, or I'd have had some.

There's a small stall selling it in the car park at the back of Mikes shopping mall.

If possible , avoid the fruit stalls at the Mike Shopping Mall. Mostly overpriced tourist stuff

Absolutely true ,they ask for some ridiculous prices and if you know no better you can be ripped off quite unmercifully.I asked how much for mangoes and was quoted a price 3 times what I pay in the UK which was 10 time what I pay in Thailand.

this topic is making me bloody hungry, might have to get the better half to make some sticky rice tonight, we have a couple of mangos in the fridge

 

I still get my Thai tucker over here in Oz

CentralFestival mall, either in the basement or on the third floor.

Most nightly local food markets will sell it, more common in the Mango Season around Songkran.

Thanks for the response guys, now we will be spoilt for choice for places to buy it come March.

 

I did try and make it back here in the Uk but it was nothing compared to the Thailand version lol.

Yeah thats it, now i think back thats how they tasted.

 

Mmm mmm, sticky rice, mangoes, lil bag coconut milk and lil bag toasted sesame.

 

Bootifull as we say here in Norfolk.

It's actually very easy to make, but first you have to learn how to make the rice -- well, BUY the rice, then make it. You need good coconut milk, not the xrap the sell in Tesco or whatever you have - a proper Oriental grocery will have it. The rice must be steamed, must NOT touch the water. And peel and cut the mangoes properly, not like you're making a fruit salad.

 

There are twillions of videos and recipes online. The main thing is actually the rice. Get un-sticky rice, or cook it wrong and the dish is definitely un-good. It MUST be "khao neow" or "sticky rice" - sold in the west (properly) as glutinous (or often just "sweet") rice. And it must be the Thai one, not the horrible Japanese one, which is a really different rice used for very different things. And the cooking method is TOTALLY different from regular rice. Like I say, lots of online instruction.

 

And the other big deal of course is the mangoes. What they sell in America as "mangoes" is a crime, inedible xrap no wonder the Mayans and others went extinct having to eat that. Lately, Mexico has stolen the Philippines "Manila" mangoes and you can get them -- they are very good. I don't know what you have on the island, there near the eurozone, but if you can't get something like yellow Thai or Philippines (maybe Indian) mangoes, it's not worth it at all. Although sticky rice is very good from time to time, especially with spicy, Isan or Isan-type food.

Nope keep the bloody mangos in the fridge and the bananas on the bench.

 

Bloody mangos go off very quickly in the heat and last longer in the fridge????

No way, Jose. Mangoes (and bananas) aren't long lasters, but the fridge pretty well kills taste and appearance without really extending their lives. Mangoes are to buy, get PERFECTLY ripe (seldom more than a couple of days) and then eat that day. You can't store 'em, really -- and not in the refrigerator, yuck.

 

I have two huge mango trees in my front yard, I have about three, four frantic weeks a year boxing them up and giving them away to co-workers. Gross out on them myself, of course. You just don't get to keep a mango around, not fresh ones at home.
