This is a very good recipe, but I'm baffled by the "expense" comments. Go hit the dollar stores like I did, and the total cost was way under $5.00. Learn to take advantage of the bargains that abound at those stores.
Just a slight modification, when making the rice, I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt, which is necessary to prevent a flat taste as well as balancing the sweetness. After toasting the rice, I waited and stirred in the coconut just before serving, along with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Try this again, my way, and you should like it very much.

We absolutely loved the mango sweet rice at the Thai restaurant just around the corner from our last house, and were totally bummed when we had to move. Fortunately, Robin Miller saved the day! This is even better than what we got at the restaurant! Sure, it's not the most inexpensive recipe and no, it's definitely not healthy. Dessert isn't supposed to be! This is indulgent and rich, and tastes great with fresh mango and black sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Thanks for another great recipe, Robin!

A good ,but unusual rice pudding I little expensive, though.
I liked it, but my daughter who doesn't like sweet rice or rice pudding, thought it was excessively sweet.
