ATTENTION Taste Of Asia Customers:

Open today 12-3 & 4:30-8
* Also on a another note we'll be launching a Mango Sticky Rice dessert TODAY !
** Customers have asked for it for years but getting consistent tropical fruits here in the Midwest is pretty dicey so come get some while you can.
BTW the portion is quite LARGE so plan on sharing or taking some home.
I'll just post Google's description as it's probably better at elaborate descriptions than I'll ever be.
Mango sticky rice (Khao Niew Mamuang) is a classic Thai dessert featuring warm glutinous rice paired with chilled, ripe mango slices.
The dish relies on a specific contrast of textures and temperatures, brought together by a rich coconut sauce.
The Core Components:
The Rice: Sweet rice (glutinous rice) is soaked, steamed, and then mixed with a warm reduction of coconut milk, sugar, and salt. The grains absorb the liquid, becoming glossy, slightly translucent, and satisfyingly chewy.
The Mango: Traditionally, sweet and non-fibrous varieties like Nam Dok Mai or Ok Rong are used. The fruit is served perfectly ripe, cool, and sliced into bite-sized pieces.
The Toppings: A thicker, slightly salted coconut cream is drizzled over the top to cut the sweetness, followed by a sprinkle of toasted mung beans or sesame seeds for a distinct crunch.
The final flavor profile is a balance of sweet, salty, creamy, and bright tropical fruit notes.
