Lemon grass & Mango Chicken

About: Chicken and mango? Sounds like a weird/interesting combination. But when eaten together it tastes pretty good! The sweetness of the mango compliments the chicken as the chicken is salty. The rice is fried with lemon grass,spring onion and mint leaves so it has a very unique taste and suits the chicken very well.
