The real talk

Bro do not let the mango fool you into thinking this is a fruit dessert. The fruit is maybe 60 calories of the whole thing. The real heavyweight is the glutinous rice, which they cook in coconut milk and sugar, then top with even more santan sauce. That is how you get to 380.

This is one of the heavier desserts on the menu, easily matching a small meal. It is worth it once in a while because it is genuinely shiok, just do not pretend it is light because there is fruit on the plate. Share it with someone and you both walk away happy at 190 each.
