Over two hundred years ago, the courtiers of King Rama II were introduced to a uniquely Petchburi treat, a rice dish specially created to be enjoyed during the summer months.
The palace denizens were greatly impressed by its cooling qualities – for Khao Chae, as it is known in Thai, means chilled rice that, is uniquely eaten cold with iced water, accompanied by the, scent of jasmine flowers and candle fumes to complement, a selection of tantalising morsels.
‘Khao Niao Mamuang’ as it is called in Thai, is the kingdom’s most celebrated dessert and at its irresistible best during the hottest months of the year.
The popularity of the dish has spread far and wide beyond the country’s borders, with the mango’s sweetness perfectly complementing glutinous rice that has been blended with coconut milk and palm sugar.
Don’t miss this seasonal opportunity at the Dusit Thani Hua Hin, -during 12-15 April 2019, a time to enjoy the traditional, tantalizing tastes of Thailand, past and present.
Price just THB 190++ per, set available daily from 11.00 onward, at The Restaurant
