Hsiao Lan usually serves as an interpreter at Banqiao New Immigrant Center and at the Wanhua Hall. She also knows how to cook many hometown dishes. This time, Hsiao Lan teaches the common delicacy "mango sticky rice" which is usually available in high-end Thai restaurants and street vendors. “Q”, chewy rice is paired with ice cold, refreshing mango, which refreshes the body and mind from the boredom of staying at home.
