Black Sticky Rice with Taro & Young Coconut (ข้าวเหนียวดำใส่เผือกและมะพร้าวอ่อน)

Black glutinous rice,also known as black sticky rice,

has long dark grains and a nutty taste reminiscent of wild rice. This black sticky rice with taro and young coconut has a distinct character and flavour all of its own,

as well as an intriguing appearance.

(reference fromjudy bastyra and becky johnson)

I used this black glutinous rice brand,the price about $3.50.

or you can buy any brand from Thailand,they all the same.

(find all ingredients in chinese grocery shop

or i usaully shopping@ flaminton chinese grocery)

This is the young coconut meat in syrup,also from chinese grocery.

about $1.80 & product from Thailand. 

I actually like this coconut milk brand to make dessert dish.

It more creamy and doesn't have any difference smell.

(compare from some brand the smell so badly)
