Eating sticky-rice, coconut, and sugar in a bamboo stick

So, a quick entry about food at the Water Racing Festival...

They sell this on the street... its a bamboo shoot that is cut at one end and filled with a mixture of sticky-rice along with shredded coconut and sugar mixed in with the sticky-rice. Apparently, you peel the bamboo back ... which is a little tricky since the bamboo is hard to peel. Once you get the bamboo back... its preeeeettyyyyy good!

There is another recipe we have made here in Pakse that is delicious...capital D. Sticky-rice, with sweetened coconut milk, and either bananas or mangoes. It is "sehp elee" (Lao for 'really good').
