Red Ruby Dessert

So far, i've ever had this dessert once & i love the texture. Its so expensive to eat them at foodcourt. $2.70 for a small bowl with ice-shavings! That's too ex, cost much more than eating a plate of $2.50 chicken rice. Haiz....now economy is not gd, we muz learn how to cut cost & calculate budget. haha...

I had some coconut milk left over for the nasi lemak last nite, i juz need to purchase a handful of water chestnuts & my pink rubies will be ready in no time. I used a lighter shade of red, the pinkish colour looks lovely.

Ingredients;
8 water chestnuts, diced
4 tbsp tapioca flour
1-2 drops red coloring
150ml thick coconut milk
2 pandan leave, knotted
2 tbsp sugar
Pinch of salt
Boiling water

Method;
-Assemble coconut milk & pandan leaves in a double-boiler, boil over low heat.
-Season with salt & sugar, set aside to cool.
-When cooled, keep in fridge to chill.
-Soak water chestnuts in red coloring, let sit for 10 mins.
-Wash & drained.
-Put tapioca flour in a box with cover, add water chestnuts, cover & shake well.
-Ensure that each dice is being coated well with flour, shake off excess flour.
-Bring water to boil, cook the rubies for 5-8 mins till they floats on water, drained.
-To serve, add red rubies, coconut milk & ice-cubes.
-Enjoy!
