| - My husband and I recently moved to Charlotte from Hawaii, the land of awesome Asian food! We had an undying urge for sticky rice. You know the kind you can pick up with two fingers and not a grain falls. I have had Thai food on the mainland and know that its a bit different. For example, red thai curry should not have red/green bell peppers and baby corn as filler. Knowing that, we just wanted the rice. So we searched nearby places via Yelp and found this one.
When we called and asked for sticky rice, she mentioned mango rice. I was confused as I have never heard that before. I said no just plain sticky rice, two orders. She said ok, she would need to make it. I found this odd as I figured sticky rice was served with meals being a Thai place and all.
We arrived, rice not quite done (no biggie), and she rang us up. I practically fell over when she said $10 and some change. I did not recall the change because I was hung up on the 10 bucks! What, for rice!!!!! Holy crap!!! I can see $2 per order but DAMN! We let it go. I mean she did make it fresh. So apparently the rice they make normally is mostly for dessert. I'm used to a tapioca type dessert with bananas.
Bottom line, no one should pay that much for rice. Seriously...ouch. I can't comment on the other food items. But really, it's rice. One ingredient.
