hey welcome back or welcome if you are new here my name is josie today
we are going to compare southeast asia's best most delicious dessert
the mango sticky rice we're going to see if expensive really means it's better we're
going to try a cheap affordable option from the side of the road and then we're going to try a
really expensive option for mango sticky rice then we're going to get blindfolded
and we're going to see if we can actually taste the difference and pick which ones which let's go
can we get two mango sticky rice
one hundred chinese
so we are picking up some mango sticky rice uh it's a 50 baht each this will be the other
option so we're going to do this we're going to get two because we're really hungry so you can
see that they cut up the mango and the sticky rice is there in this big pot and the obviously
mango sticky rice includes mango and sticky rice she's just preparing the mango now hopefully it's
nice and juicy and soft and you said you made that one yourself you may yeah yes you make
everything and what it's just coconut milk coconut milk and coconut milk sugar
it's good
so mango sticky rice is by far my favorite dessert since coming to thailand it's basically the most
popular southeast asian dish i think i think there is i'm probably a little bit biased but i
absolutely love it so it is sticky rice fresh mango and it's drizzled and drenched in coconut
milk topped with these yellow among beans so it is a very delicious dessert let me tell you it's not
readily available in australia either you have to like go to a thai restaurant something and still
there not many of them have it so i'm excited to try it here again this was 50 baht and i would say
the portion size is very very generous i'm happy with this it's basically a whole mango and it does
look really really juicy she cut up the mango and she prepared it she basically skinned the outside
of the mango off very delicately it was really nice to watch actually and then i
watched her heat up the coconut milk over a pot um obviously warming up the coconut milk for us
and she just pulled it out of the pot with like a ladle and popped it into one of these bags for
us so it was quite special actually watching it make made almost fresh but this is a big
big i think portion size for mango sticky rice so you have this whole mango with actually
honestly quite a bit of sticky rice and a whole bunch of coconut milk so the hardest part about
the mango sticky rice or actually getting coffee sometimes they come in a little bag
and the hardest part of eating or drinking is opening the little
bag with an elastic band all right the moment we've all been waiting for
especially me because i'm really hungry it smells so good
that is good
that mango basically fell apart in my mouth to become one with the rice just then like
i've never heard anything softer than this mango my whole life this is we've we've had quite a few
mangoes to your asses since coming to thailand this is the softest i'm not just saying that this
is the stuff to spend goes so far i'm so impressed i can't even get over how quickly that melted in
my mouth that is a very nice mango i forgot to mention this is actually the good time for
mango this is the rapist juiciest mango season i think it's april to june i think maybe from memory
would be mango season and we're right bang in the middle of that basically near the end of may so
good time to get your ripe mangoes but this is really good i have this a lot for reference
oh see how it just disappears you know what i haven't had that level of like juiciness
since the very first one in your jud fairs video yeah panda live or pandan lee oh yum
oh durian julia yes oh you did durian sticky rice yes
oh i have to come back and have some durian sticky rice maybe
oh that might be good what do you want you like to leave i had it once it was good smelly
75 for
i kind of like the smell now
i think i like it now hey it's like nice
you try okay now we're trying durian michael's going to try again
okay
i like it smells better than the other one smells better that's nice
it's not for me so she was saying that she cooks the uh coconut thing with a pandan leaf
and i saw some in the rice as well the pandan yeah oh cool wow so pandan is like um
like green here it's like really nice taste that i found in thailand as well oh this one's me
thank you thank you
thank you so honestly that mango sticky rice was really delicious and that's honestly going
to be really hard to beat and i will say that if you are in chiang mai this is a must visit for
your mango sticky rice this is a beautiful shop beautiful people definitely give it a
visit she was showing us that ken abroad had also been here as well which is really cool
we just found it by accident like by mistake we looked it up and we thought this was something
to come to and it looks like it is so make sure you come along so here we are at chivet chiva
it is off soi 7 and it's in the heart of niiman so neiman is notoriously a little bit more of
an expensive area anyway so let's just see how much more expensive is this mango sticky rice
than the other ones on the outskirts of chiang mai and the old city let's have a look
do you recall when we were young running from all things at once without thinking twice
there is no doubt at all that there is a beautiful space here it is lined with plants and white and
bright and airy which is my type of aesthetic it looks absolutely beautiful and i'm sure the mango
sticky rice will too it was more on the expensive side it was 185 baht so that's about 5.30 us and
about 7.60 in australian so let's see if the price matches the quality of the mango so just

mango sticky rice thank you so much okay so right off the bat the presentation on this mango sticky
rice obviously is a lot better it's served on the plate with a whole bunch of components one of
which i think is like a mango sauce then there's a little bowl of what looks to be sticky riced
maybe with some sliced nuts on top then you have a small bowl with a little bit of mango and then
you have this big bowl with what looks to be rice but not like the other sticky rice with a couple
of bits of mango on top i don't think the mango has the proportion that the other mango did so
for proportion wise you get a lot more mango in the cheaper option from this morning so let's see
if the taste makes up for the lack of the mango shall we okay so i'm going to take a spoonful
of this mound of white stuff that's underneath this mango because i'm not sure what it is and
it doesn't look like the sticky rice so let's see what this actually is okay so it kind of has the
texture of ice cream really soft fluffy ice cream kind of like snow let's taste let's see what it is
it's like ice cream it's ice cream
obviously i don't you don't get this with mango stick your asses from you know the street or
anything or stalls but it's just a really interesting texture so i'm not really sure
what this is but that's a different element for sure that's a different element so what's missing
i think or what's different is that normally with mango sticky rice the coconut milk would be warm
or something but i'm assuming this ice cream thing is the coconut milk right and it's cold so that's
obviously a big difference it's not warm like normal you get this mango sort of sauce as well
which i've never had with mango sticky rice either so i've made my own little plate here i've put
some of the mango in the little plate with the sticky rice i put some of the mango salts on it
and i put some of this like stuff that's melted from this big ice cream thing which i'm assuming
is the coconut milk all in one little pot here so i'm gonna try a piece of the mango i think first
wow okay so that mango doesn't like melt in my mouth it's not as soft as a mango
from this morning but i will say the taste of the mango is this maybe a little bit better like
it has a different taste obviously mangoes vary from mango to mango not just place to place so
keep that in mind but it's not as soft as the one from before you don't get much in this you
get the little thing of the sticky rice plus a couple of cubes of mango there's probably two
four six eight nine cubes of mango as opposed to like a whole mango or a whole half of the mango
from this morning so there's a lot less in this for your money besides this big
thing i guess they've taken their like elements and just made them a little bit more
fancy which is actually a good thing because what justifies that price difference okay so i've got
my little takeaway bag cup of the expensive mango sticky rice now we're gonna go back and i'm gonna
taste test this and the one from this morning with a blindfold on so i don't know which one's which
and we're gonna see if it's actually worth the price difference without any bias i don't know
which one's which so let's see if it's worth the extra money it's an extra 135 baht it's a lot of
money so let's find out if there's actually a big difference or not okay so we are here and we're
going to do a blind taste test of the cheap affordable one versus the very expensive one
just so i can tell if i actually can taste the difference without knowing which ones which so
let me just take these off because i can't see without them anyway put this on so i don't know
which one is which obviously michael's just gonna give me some of each one okay
it does taste nice but the mango isn't as smooshy like it's not as soft as the one
that i think is from this morning but it does taste good it's like
oh it's it's not a bad mango sticky rice at all i think i need the other one to compare
hold on give me there all right am i gonna go stick around number two
so i think i think that second one was the cheap one and i think the first one was the
expensive one is that right that's correct i think the cheaper one's better i think that
there's a lot going on in that expensive one like instead of just having your your normal mung bean
on top it's like shaved almonds i think the cold ice cream or not having that warm coconut milk
it's just different like it doesn't taste it's not like traditional you know mango sticky rice
for me so i will say that this morning's one which is the more affordable cheaper one i
think it's better i think i like it better and i don't think it's worth paying the extra 135 baht
and i think that you can get an amazing sticky rice from a vendor on the side of the road no
matter where you go in thailand so i don't think it's worth spending the extra money i think stick
with the side street vendors stick with your local mango sticker fruit mango sticky fruit
mango sticky rice vendor and shop local because i think that was worth it and absolutely delicious
for 50 baht which is like two dollars and she was awesome and she was awesome so i think the
cheaper one wins here so there you have it the cheaper more affordable mango sticky rice one
just to show you that you don't need to spend a lot of money in thailand to get such good quality
food so if you like this video i know you're gonna like the video where i tried thai fruits
