Black sticky rice

Yesterday I went to the local Asian Grocer.

I was on a mission to buy a packet of dried shrimp.

(A recipe for fried rice with crab meat needs the dried shrimp.)

They had no dried shrimp, but on impulse I bought and came home with:

1 packet of black sticky rice

1 packet of white Thai glutinous rice (white sticky rice)

1 bottle of pandan essence

Why?

After tasting the most glorious black sticky rice (with coconut custard) last weekend at the Thai food festival, I was determined to make this dish at home.

I'll wait for the next rainy day to make it.

If it works out ok I will share the recipe.
