Thai Red Cargo Rice
We've been selling a lot of red cargo rice lately. Commonly served in both Thai and Vietnamese meals. Along with the recent explosion of Thai restaurants focusing on Street Vendor style food, restaurants often serve steamed rice that has 10-20% red cargo mixed in, to give it a rustic "wild rice" appearance.

Mama makes a wide variety of popular instant noodles such as namtok and classic tom yum shrimp.
