Eat This: Sticky rice and mango at Mai Lee

“It’s so Asian,” said MAI LEE’s Qui Tran of the restaurant’s STICKY RICE AND MANGO. We wholeheartedly agree. A mound of hot sticky rice is covered in a warm, delicate sauce of sweetened coconut milk and adorned with cool, golden mango. Textures and temperatures interplay to transform a trio of Asian staples into an unexpectedly epicurean dessert.
