Simplest things are often the hardest to prepare..part II











Green bean Soup..
-Lovely green bean soup just right for such a hot day..yum yum
Perhaps some people would like to add coconut milk, cream, evaporated milk etc to top the green bean soup but believe me the pure taste of this is so good and smooth that the aroma alone and make you drool..haha

Okay well there is pandan leaves in it already so the beany smell and taste is killed..haha if that is what most people that don't like green bean soup will say about it..
Though personally I prefer red bean soup I still chose to cook green bean soup..because its more cooling and takes a much shorter time to cook..yeah cheating i need to cook quite a few things today and am contrained with time..


Chin Chow/grass jelly..

In the making..its tedious but at the same times really simple to make!!

Similarly like the green bean soup its cooling..and a preferble children cooling agent..


Yup that is right made this for the children to eat and the adults the green bean soup..


But there were complains..that I didn't make enough..well good news but bad news..I made a lot and I didn't get to try..maybe I did for the testing of the taste though..

Too bad I didn't have the time or I'll make soy bean milk too if goes very well with the grass jelly..
Agar Agar
This is perhaps by far the most easiest out of all to make..
BUT DO NOT BE TOO HAPPY..
you have not tried the best..
the best Agar Agars are hard and crunchy..
every bite into it you have heard and feel the "crack crack" sound..
It took me a long long time before i can make such agar agars.. and I'm glad to say I didn't manage to eat any of it too..
Perhaps there are too many people around to eat it all..sunday is always a gathering day huh..
Luckily I kept the grass jelly for myself..before it was served..
