Sticky rice wrapped chicken and Lam cake are among the world's best sticky rice dishes.

The culinary website Taste Atlas has announced the 36 best sticky rice dishes in the world. Notably, Vietnam has 4 dishes on this list including three-color sweet soup, lam sweet soup, taro sweet soup and sticky rice chicken.

Ranked at number 4, three-color sweet soup is one of the ideal desserts for those with a sweet tooth. This sweet soup combines many ingredients such as sticky rice, red beans, green beans, jelly, coconut milk... creating a diverse flavor, both rich and refreshing. Regardless of the ingredients, the sweet soup is almost always topped with coconut milk and crushed peanuts.

Three-color sweet soup is usually eaten cold with shaved ice, helping to dispel the heat, especially suitable for the hot summer weather of Vietnam.
