In Thailand, one of the main desserts you can find is mango sticky rice. Mango sticky rice is sticky rice accompanied with freshly cut mangoes and drizzled with coconut milk. Sometimes the food coloring might be added to the sticky rice to create a variety of different colors of sticky rice and to add more color to the dish. It’s best served when the sticky rice is still hot, but usually, restaurants would serve them cold. Although this may seem like an odd combination, the flavors work well together and create a spectacular taste in your mouth!
Back when I traveled to Istanbul, Turkey, with my family members, my cousin and I had just eaten lunch when we saw an ice cream cart nearby. When we got closer to the cart, we were both confused because the ice cream didn’t seem like regular ice cream. Then we realized what wasn’t normal about the ice cream: it was sticky. Out of curiosity, we decided to buy one. The ice cream man scooped us the ice cream using a metal stick and attached the cone to the ice cream while the ice cream was still on the stick. Then he served it to us while it was on the stick, but when we were about to grab it, the ice cream man quickly pulled the stick and our ice cream attached to it away. Then he made a little show with the ice cream and did little tricks on us by snatching away our ice cream with the stick while we were reaching for it. Shockingly, our ice cream never fell from the stick when the ice cream man did his tricks with it. After several minutes, we finally got our ice cream and left feeling happy and amazed by what we just saw. If you’re ever going to travel to Turkey, be sure to buy the local ice cream and prepared to be amazed and tricked at the same time!
