Pairing it with chewy rice and coconut makes texture part of the pleasure. Open over a bowl to catch the juice.

Ok Rong is one of the mangoes traditionally paired with coconut sticky rice. Thai restaurant accounts translate its name through the fruit’s cleft shape. The words keep an everyday observation alive, rather than naming a king, breeder or town. English records spell it Okrung, Okrong, Ok Rong and Oc-rong.
