Any dish on the continent of Asia that's served over rice can be served over coconut rice for an extra hit of flavor. Simply substitute half the water for coconut milk, and you're good to go. Using glutinous, or sticky rice puts you at an advantage, however. Not only do you have a fluffy bed of something for your homemade chicken curry or crispy Tamarind-spiked pork belly, but you can top it with sweetened chopped mango to seamlessly transition to a traditional Thai dessert.

Sticky rice doesn't reheat well, so make sure you finish the whole batch. That shouldn't be too hard.
