All Kinds Of Yummy

taking my parents to lunch at a random thai restaurant on 2nd avenue in nyc last week was such a great experience. not only did we eat excellent $6 entrees (in new york city!) -- which led them to discover the amazingness that is drunken noodles, and which were accompanied by free appetizers! -- but we also chanced upon the best dessert in the world: mango sticky rice.

i ordered it again tonight at a thai place near dupont circle, in dc (since nikita and i were clearly not done with our marathon during-dinner conversation!). this, my friends, is a clear, clear winner. succulent, thin, cool, slices of a kind of mango that is about as close to alphonso as you can get; warm bites of starchy long-grain rice that lend grace and positivity to terms like "clumpy" and "gelatinous"; coconut milk and sesame seeds to add interesting flavours.

slurp!

(if you haven't been to your local thai place recently, go now. run!)
