Food Addendum

Richard said he didn't know what the desserts were. Allow me to enlighten:

1. Gula Melaka (sp?)-- essentially, tapioca with coconut milk and palm syrup. Epicness.

2. Shaved ice with palm syrup, rose water, and some other flavorings, underlain by red azuki beans and agar and some other stuff. Kind of weird.

3. Coconut panna cotta with yams, sweet potato, and agar.

4. Fresh fruit.

Singapore is a paradise of tropical fruit, by the way. Another omitted detail: we played 3 hours of Botticelli while walking around today.

  4. Just so you know what to order next time.
    2. ice kachang (kachang = nut in Malay)
    3. Bubor chacha - normally the sweet potato and yam cubes swim in a sea of coconut milk sweetened with gula melaka.
    BTW, Rich and Richard, we spoke of gula melaka food diabetics - seems it's GI is 35 compared to 93 for cane sugar. Another sweetener we like is black strap molasses powder. Alexandra uses it when she bakes my wholemeal cakes. -chock-a-block full of minerals, including iron. Happy chomping!
