Serving rice in a pineapple shell is a charming tradition that brings a festive atmosphere to the simplest meal. If you prefer, serve it in a medium-sized serving dish, mounding it high. Although Jasmine is the prized rice in Thailand, I believe its delicate flavor is lost when cooked in a dish like this.This dish comes from the south of Thailand, an area which has been influenced greatly by the foods of India and Malaysia.
