This is a basket of sticky rice that appears by my side when I eat with my Thai friends in Bangkok.
They sit this huge basket next to me and I’m supposed to not be shocked. I can’t portray the enormity of this rice basket properly. It’s more than half full and very heavy. I can’t lift it easily with my arthritic hands; that’s how heavy it is.
The first time they did this, I tried to tell my friends, “Don’t you people know I’m obese! You can’t sit all those carbs next to me. If I eat this I will blow up like a balloon! How do you even eat rice out of a basket?” They can’t understand my English, but they still know what I’m saying.
Everyone laughed. Then they showed me how to reach down in there and wrangle some rice into my hand (it's really sticky) drop it onto some of the conveniently provided greens, find some protein on the table, roll it all up into a ball, and stuff it my mouth.
I did not take a picture, but the last time I was there, my protein was an entire duck. For me. A whole duck. They did not know I was coming but they had a big cut up duck waiting just in case.
No one else was eating this duck for 20 and rice for a crowd, but they were all looking to see if I liked it. My smiling and eating their food is a great joy to all, so I have no choice but to comply.
And seriously – this is the best rice I have ever eaten in my life; duck or no duck.

I’m using a Canon ELPH160 point and shoot camera for my photos.
I’m grateful I lost half my size and just sorry it took me until I was 50 years old to figure out how to do it. Anyone can lose weight if I did. I can help you with simple and natural methods you will enjoy. It’s been over seven years now since I had to worry about my weight. What a relief.
Strange thing with sticky rice in Thailand compared to Lao where sticky rice is the norm with meals is that the basket in Laos has a lid and you should NEVER leave the lid off! Not sure why but its just the custom. Hope youre healthy n happy :-)

Interesting! I've had two trips to Vientiane and I'm going back in May. I will definitely look out for the rice basket now :)
I want to know how they clean this thing, but maybe not lol.

Rice containing plain carbohydrate, it's recommended that take as less as possible, as per GLYCEMIC INDEX long grain rice is better than normal rice.

Well, I don't really have a choice since I am in Thailand at my friends' house. I barely eat carbs otherwise and do the paleo aip diet. Mostly protein and veggies :)

My wife is obsessed with sticky rice after she lived in Thailand for a year. She doesn't like most of the food there, so she lived on pretty much just rice!
