Mango sticky rice is a classic Thai dessert, and it’s very, very easy to see why.
You know the drill by now; if you see a bunch of people lining up for food, get in that line. I live my life by that code, and it pretty much never fails.
It definitely didn’t fail today. Liu Chia specializes in zhongzi — glutinous rice crammed with various fillings and then wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed.
While doing some morning exploration of Taichung recently, I stumbled upon a street vendor with an impressive line. He was serving up big balls of sticky rice filled with all kinds of stuff.
I like sticky rice. I like stuff. I like eating foods that the locals like. Sold!
