About Khao Lam

Khao lam is a Lao sticky-rice sweet, and Saeng’s durian rendition combines coconut milk with two sugars. The rice has a close, cohesive texture, with fresh durian distributed through the coconut-rich mixture.

Durian contributes its distinctive fragrance and rich fruit flavour. Palm sugar and granulated sugar provide sweetness, while a small amount of salt balances the sweet coconut and rice base.

The sweet is presented inside bamboo sections, with banana leaves forming the top closure. Its compact rice filling reflects the characteristic bamboo-contained form of khao lam, with durian throughout the rice.
