Mango Sticky Rice Shaved Ice: Flavor & Pairings

What does Mango Sticky Rice taste like?

Mango Sticky Rice shaved ice is coconut-sweet with ripe mango — the kind of flavor that makes people close their eyes on the first spoonful. Its golden color comes through beautifully in fluffy hand-shaved snow, so it looks as good as it tastes.

Because our snow is shaved fresh rather than crushed, mango sticky rice syrup soaks evenly through every ribbon instead of pooling at the bottom. That means the last bite is just as flavorful as the first.

Where Mango Sticky Rice comes from

Mango Sticky Rice traces back to Thailand, and it carries a little of that place in every spoonful. Mango sticky rice is Thailand's most beloved dessert, reimagined here as snow.

Part of the fun of a shaved ice menu is that it's a passport — a single counter can hop from a Hawaiian beach to a Taiwanese night market to a desert roadside stand.

Best toppings for mango sticky rice shaved ice

Our favorite way to serve it is with toasted mung bean, which balances the sweetness and adds texture. A few more combinations worth trying:

• Fresh fruit that echoes the flavor, cut into little cubes
• A jelly or boba for a chewy contrast
• A drizzle of condensed milk or coconut cream to round it out
• A tiny sugar blossom on top, because we can't help ourselves
