I love sticky rice! Another serving idea for when mango is not in season is sliced strawberries. I also have had it with a quarter of a whole pineapple with the fruit sliced thin on top of the pineapple.Beautiful presentation.

[...] The description of Lotus of Siam from Zoë Bakes makes me want to go to Vegas just so I can eat there, and I don’t even know if I like Thai food. For now I’ll have to placate myself with the recipe she provided for their Sticky Rice with Coconut Cream and Mango. [...]

We bought a rice steamer basket for cheap at an Asian gocery store. Kids love the rice cooked this way, and it’s easy. Downside: rice steamer basket sometimes gets used as a hat by one of the aforementioned kids. We’ve also steamed sticky rice in the microwave – do internet search for sticky rice,microwave,saran.

Love the individual rice baskets, and thanks for the tip regarding the cheesecloth, as I’m not sure I’ll be able to easily source that traditional steaming basket here.

That looks so luscious! This is my favorite Thai dessert…I remember buying some from a really old place in Bangkok that has been around forever, then eating it in the shade of Wat Arun…bliss

I have a regulat steamer but that rice steaming basket looks so great…will definitely keep my eyes open for one in this part of the world! As with those like sticky rice baskets! So pretty

Yes, the chef at Lotus is verrrry particular about the quality of the ingredients and will not serve an item if it is not up to their standards. They will not serve mangoes if they are not in season (no matter how much you beg and, believe me, I’ve tried!)

Hi Heidi,

You made my day! What you are saying is that even if I had ordered it, they wouldn’t have served it to me? That is great news, now I don’t feel as though I blew my one chance!

Thanks!!! Zoë

Love, love LOVE Lotus of Siam – it’s the first reservation I make when I land in Vegas. Unfortunately I’ve never been lucky enough to visit during mango season and they will not serve this dessert unless the mangoes are perfect.

I will say their sticky rice and coconut ice cream is a good substitute, though. Thanks for the lesson – I’ll have to give this a try at home!
