MANILA, Philippines – It’s official: summer is finally here. And with it, we’re always on the hunt for something sweet to energize us. One refreshing treat that you can whip up at home is your own version of Thai Mango Sticky Rice. This dessert gives you a taste of Thailand’s authentic flavors, and with the help of Royal Umbrella and its fragrant aromas and distinct textures, you’ll definitely enjoy it even more.
Also known as Khao Neaw Mamuang, Thai Mango Sticky Rice combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes and the creaminess of coconut milk with glutinous (or sticky) rice. Now that Philippine Mangoes are in season and Royal Umbrella is available nationwide, you can easily infuse two cultures into one plate and elevate the experience.
Royal Umbrella uses Hom Mali Rice, long-grains that are harvested only once a year from the best rice fields in Thailand. These top-grade grains are known for their distinct Jasmine fragrance and fluffy texture when cooked.
