MALAYSIA: ABC

This recipe brings back many happy memories of living in Kuala Lumpur. This is a whacky dessert that uses many ingredients that are traditionally seen as savory in the West. Don’t be put off, you’ll love it, and as soon as I ate a spoonful I was back in Melaka. Happiness indeed. YouTube below ❤️

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups ice cubes or crushed ice
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup water
3 drops red coloring, (optional)
2 tablespoons condensed milk or evaporated milk
2 tablespoons canned red beans, in kernels
2 tablespoons canned sweet corn, cream-style
2 tablespoons grass jelly pieces
Attap chee, palm nuts, (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Add all the ingredients in the Syrup in a small sauce pan. Heat it up over medium heat. As soon as the sugar melts and the syrup starts to bubble, turn off the heat. Set aside and let cool.

Prepare the shaved ice by using a blender. Make sure the ice is completely shaved.

Transfer the shaved ice to a bowl and add 2 tablespoons syrup, follow by all the ingredients in the toppings. Serve immediately.
