The end of the journey

A dessert that comes from the road

On Asian Road's menu, after the bases, the flavours and the Crispy Road, there is one last stop: the Sweet Road. A single dessert, designed as the sweet end of a trip through Southeast Asia.

In Laos, sticky rice is eaten with your fingers, at every meal. That's what you find here, for dessert: steamed, then gently worked to close the box on a sweet note.

Golden Sticky Rice

Three moves for one dessert

Sticky rice naturally coloured with the season, with sweet coconut milk or grated coconut as you prefer, finished with touches of gold.

The sticky rice

Steamed

The heart of the dessert: soft sticky rice, a legacy of Laotian tables, found in every market across Southeast Asia.

The colour

With the season

The rice is naturally coloured, and its shade changes with the seasons. From one visit to the next, the dessert doesn't always wear the same colour.

The coconut

Your pick

Sweet coconut milk or grated coconut: you choose. It's all finished with touches of gold, hence the name.

Ending on a sweet note

From the wokto dessert

The spirit of night markets: you drift from one stall to the next, from savoury to sweet, never waiting long. At Asian Road, dessert follows the same path.

    Add it at the counter

    Once your box is built, you can stay on the road: the Golden Sticky Rice is ordered at the same counter, straight after.

    It leaves with your box

    Eat in or take away: dessert slips into the bag with the rest, for the office, home or a bench in the old town.

    The road ends here

    Bases, flavours, Crispy Road, Sweet Road: the menu reads like a journey, and dessert is its last stop.
