It's flogging awesome. You'll usually see it in Thai Restaurants.

It differs from pretty much all other rice in that it's actually steamed in a wicker basket and not boiled like most rice is The attached pic shows the pot in which it's cooked in. Boiling water goes in the metal one, and then rinsed sweet rice is put into the basket and usually covered with Cheesecloth. You can find the pots for cheap at most Thai markets if there's one nearby.

Anyhow, It's usually served as a side to grilled meats served on a stick with sweet chili sauce, or as part of an awesome dessert when mangoes are in season. They slice up a mango and mix Sticky Rice with condensed milk and they're served together. It's delicious.
