Hatyai, Thailand : Mango Sticky Rice & Durian Sticky Rice

I guess Malaysians are familiar with these all time favourite Thai desserts - Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Ripe Mango (Khao Neow Mamuang) and Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Durian (Khao Niew Thurian) . We can get these on & off during the Thai Food Fair Promotions in Malaysia.

Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Ripe Mango (Khao Neow Mamuang)

Generous servings of firm texture sweet sticky rice paired with slices of fresh ripe mango. Here, they give the whole mango per servings (unlike in Malaysia, only give few slices of mangoare served). Affordable price at 40 baht.

This is taken after pouring the sweetened coconut cream as topping. Mmmmm... Don't you think the white coconut milk looks like "something"? Well, forget about it. The servings are delish :)

Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Durian (Khao Niew Thurian)

Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Durian (Khao Niew Thurian). Another irresistible taste experience. I haven't pour in the coconut cream topping when I took the photo. Same price as the Mango Sticky Rice. Sorry, Cynthia (and all those Malaysians studying or working abroad as well)... I know you (all) miss durian ;)

    yeah, there are Thai fair on & off.. I guess every few months? Cos I see that few times a year in Penang ;) Somehow, the one in Hatyai is more tasty than the one available here during the fair.

  13. lb,
    If u mention Durian Pie, I will associate it with durian dodol or durian cake ;)

    U will balik kampung soon, right? the "balik kampung" song by Sudirman is playing in the background temporarily..

    Perjalanan jauh tak ku rasa
    Kerna hatiku melonjak sama
    Ingin berjumpa sanak saudara
    Yang selalu bermain di mata

    Nun menghijau gunung ladang & rimba
    Langit nan tinggi bertambah birunya
    Deru angin turut sama berlagu
    Semuanya bagaikan turut gembira

    Balik kampung oh oh...( 3X )
    Hati girang
    Ho ho... Balik kampung (3X)
    Hati girang

    Terbayang wajah-wajah yang ku sayang
    Satu-satu tersemat di kalbu
    Pasti terubat rindu di hati
    Menyambut kepulangan ku nanti


    Liulian is waiting for you at home ;)

  23. godknows,
    pity u can’t eat durian ..

    kristopher,
    hehehe, I guess Sarawak is too far away from Thailand  Is there any Thai Food Fair in Kuching?

    pink cotton,
    Mango sticky rice is more common & more widely available. However, we have the Durian Sticky Rice over here occasionally in certain Pasar Malam in Penang too…

    Aiyak, u only eat the mango & didn’t taste the sticky rice ah? Wasted lah u :D

    alicia,
    Kekkeke… Hope your stomach is not grumbling or making much noise now ;)

  24. Chen: nope....there are few Thai restaurant like Lok Thian, Pandan Thai and Mango Tree but all cost like a bomb...don dare to go in... :)

    Maybe need to wait for Kuching Food Festival around Aug....

  25. kristopher,
    some places the price is expensive but the food is not nice. I know a place serving good Thai food in Penang, which falls into the "Cheap & Good" category :)

    izso,
    hehe, when is your next trip to Thailand ;)
