This dessert is readily available in any Thai restaurants and it's a most order dessert for me!!! I just love the crunchiness and chewiness of the water chestnut and the milky flavour of the chilled coconut milk... Perfect for a super hot day...
I made it right after I reached home and it only took me 30 minutes to prepare!! I was delaying this for so long due to lack of fresh water chestnut... I travelled to Pudu Market just to get my hands on it... My mum can get this easily in Penang but here in KL... It's like finding a pin in the ocean (yeah, I'm exaggerating, but it's true)
So here's how I do it
 |
| Cubed the water chestnut |
 |
| Add red food colouring |
 |
| Coat them in tapioca starch |
 |
| Bring a pot of water to boil |
Throw all the coated water chestnut in and stir them to prevent sticking... Once they float, sieve them up and chilled them in cold water... I couldn't manage to snap a picture of this process due to time constraint... The rubies started to float in less than 5 minutes... Gotta scoop them up fast as I don't want the surface to be too starchy...
 |
| Tada!! Red rubies! |
Now, prepare the coconut milk... Just heat them up in slow fire for 5 minutes and leave it to cool...
 |
| Add pandan leaves, a pinch of salt and sugar to taste |
 |
| Add sliced mangoes/jackfruits and ice |
Once everything is in place, add the prepared coconut milk and TADA!!!
The perfect dessert for a super hot weekday!!!
Super duper easy to make!!
 |
| Easy & Simple |
I'm feeling much cooler now after having this... Enjoy!!
