East bay suggestions would be especially appreciated, although I'd go anywhere in the B.A. T.I.A!

Also there is another Thai store inside of Pacific East mall in El Cerrito/Richmond. Not sure if they will have the bamboo boat shaped steamer, but perhaps they can direct you to the right store.

I don't remember the name, but it occupies the space that used to be the old May Wah. Frankly, you don't need it to do steamed sticky rice, which is what I think you'd want to do with it. I either wrap rice in cheese cloth or just put in a bowl and steam in a regular steamer. As long as you keep the rice away from the simmering water, it will be just fine. I don't see any other need for that flying-nun looking basket and pot. Frankly, those bamboo baskets are a pain to use/clean. Fri Oct 07 22:45:01 -0700 2005 191782 0 Pim
