Ini memang kesukaan saya, kalau makan tu memang tidak boleh berhenti lebih-lebih lagi kalau dapat buah mangga yang manis. Pulut mangga ini adalah sajian popular Thai yang menjadi kegemaran masyarakat Malaysia. Sajian ini juga merupakan sajian jalanan yang begitu popular di mana-mana bahagian Thailand. Menyediakan sajian ini tidaklah susah, kita cuma perlu memasak pulut dan menyediakan kuah santan untuk dimakan bersama mangga. Boleh dikatakan caranya sama seperti memakan pulut dengan durian. Paling penting dalam sajian ini ialah memilih buah mangga yang sesuai. Biasanya buah mangga yang berisi kuning menjadi pilihan, manis dan sedap.

Kepada yang belum pernah mencuba, cuba, saya jamin anda pasti suka dan anda tidak perlu ke thailand untuk merasanya. Tanak aje pulut, masak santan dan potong mangga. Itu sahaja, tapi hasilnya memang memuaskan.
