The Best Dessert in Thailand: Mango Sticky Rice at Or Tor Kor Market, Bangkok, Thailand

Khao Niao Mamuang, or Mango Sticky Rice

at Or Tor Kor Market, Bangkok, Thailand

Recently while exploring Or Tor Kor Market in Bangkok, Thailand, I bought a serving of my all-time favorite Thai dessert to enjoy.

Khao niao mamuang, or mango sticky rice, is one of the pinnacles of Thai cuisine that is as sweet and delicious as it is simple.

A serving of sweet sticky rice is served with slices of cool, fresh mango and topped with sweet and salty coconut cream and crispy mung beans. The rice is often served warm, which provides a nice contrast to the cool mango, and the sweet and salty flavors of all of the ingredients mix incredibly well together to create what I believe to be the perfect dessert.

Location

Or Tor Kor Market, also called the Marketing Organization for Farmers, is one of my favorite markets in Bangkok. This massive farmers market is well organized, clean and hygienic, and is one of the best places to find the freshest produce, ingredients, and meat in the city. You can even find lots of things here that are more regional and often harder to find in Bangkok.

Prices here are a little higher than at other more local markets, but the high quality of the produce makes up for it.

Or Tor Kor Market is located at 101 Kamphaeng Phet Rd, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900 at MRT Kamphaeng Phet Station, and is located just across the street from the legendary Chatuchak Weekend Market (JJ Market)
