Junk food of the week: Sticky Rice in Banana Leaf

So much depends
upon

a blob of sticky
rice

graced with a dollop of
custard

inside a banana
leaf.*



They served these little packets of sweetened glutinous rice as the mid-morning snack on our wildlife trek. All hikes should have such treats. As a perfect finishing touch, instead of dumping our banana leaves in the jungle, they collected all of them to dispose of later. Those guys really know the way to my heart!
