My lovely landlady just handed me this and demanded I take a bite in front of her. She leaves fruit for me on my fridge and occasionally makes me eat rice with her, I think because I sometimes look lost. She told me what it's called, but the words didn't mean anything to me so I don't even remember the sounds. Bottom portion is jiggly and more slippery than jello. Top is pasty and firm and there are strips of fresh coconut floating in the white part. The whole thing is pretty weird in typical asian dessert fashion and mildly flavored. She told me it will make my skin nice. Wait, is this a neg!?

  1. She must have been very proud of this recipe. Asians like a very fair complexion. Seems like some people still believe that eating white foods make you skin whiter.

    Don't eat bananas.

    I think she meant well.
