Mango sticky rice is a delicious Thai dessert that balances sweet and savory flavors perfectly. The dish features sticky, glutinous rice drenched in creamy coconut milk and topped with fresh, sweet ripe mango slices. You can conveniently enjoy mango sticky rice at home with Costco’s new microwave frozen packs. These packs allow you to have ready mango sticky rice in minutes. Read on for my Costco mango sticky rice review.
Mango Sticky Rice Origin
Mango sticky rice, or khao niew mamuang in Thai, is a popular traditional Thai dessert. It is commonly found in Thai restaurants across America. Although the exact origin of mango sticky rice is unknown, it is deeply rooted in Thai culture.
Costo Mango Sticky Rice Review
I personally enjoyed this product and found that it definitely curbed my mango sticky rice cravings. It wasn’t too sweet, and the glutinous rice maintained its integrity. Even after being frozen and packaged, the rice was still sticky and delicious, and the mangoes were ripe and sweet. My only complaint is that, despite following the microwave instructions, the mango was still quite frozen while the rice cooked well. I loved the addition of the mung bean topping, and the rice definitely had the essence of coconut milk.
At my local Costco, this box costs $15.79 and contains 4 containers of mango sticky rice, making it about $4 per pack. It is a bit pricey, but considering that mango sticky rice at Thai restaurants in Austin is around $11, it’s still a good deal.
