Sangkaya Coconut Ice Cream @ SS15 Subang Jaya

Last two weekends ago saw my family and my friends making rounds around SS15, Subang. It was the craziest night. In just one night, we visited a cafe, two ice-cream shops and a bubble tea shop.

We started off by having dinner at Flingstones Cafe to celebrate my good friend's (aka bro-in-law 'K') belated birthday. Then we went for ice-cream and waffle dessert at Fatbaby. Still not enough, we walked down the street for more ice-cream at Sangkaya. Lastly, we settled down at Gong Cha for a quiet chit-chat. Crazy but it was a great catch-up with my friends, as well as a good opportunity to try out the new stuffs in town!

Sangkaya is an ice-cream parlour offering anything coconuty, from ice-cream to drinks. According to their website, there is also a Thai Milk Tea ice-cream but I don't think I have seen it on that night. Maybe I was too engrossed with their Signature ice-cream. The hefty price tag doesn't seems to bother too. I don't mind paying a little extra for beautifully presented goodness (but only once or twice, or maybe thrice on the same item).

Signature Ice-Cream @ RM10.50
Rating: 3.5/5
This is their top recommendation - 4 scoops of premium coconut ice-cream with 3 toppings of your choice, served on fresh coconut husk, with coconut flesh strips.
(If I remember correctly), there were around 5 toppings - toasted peanuts, toasted desiccated coconut, corns, chocolate syrup and cornflakes. The ice-cream were indeed premuim - rich in flavor and has a very nice creamy texture. But unfortunately, the toasted peanuts (on that day) were not fresh. It has a "Yik" smell, like expired peanuts.

You may choose to sit outside at the alfresco area or inside Jibril Lounge, which is just behind this 'brick wall'. The door seems to be hidden, it is actually on the left hand side of this 'brick wall'. Just push yourself in to enjoy a totally different environment.

Refreshing Coconut Jelly

It has been very hot at our side these days, with an average temperature of around 36°C. I thought what other great way to refresh ourselves with a cooling thirst-quenching coconut jelly? I have been having these 2 packets of 'Happy Grass' coconut jelly powder in my pantry since early this year. Was wanting to make them during my CNY reunion but was too busy with other dishes back then. Now is a great time to make them!

Actually I wanted to thank my future younger sister in law for introducing this brand to me. The jelly is really nice, with just the correct texture. Normally, you'll see Malay stalls selling these kind of jelly. For a small tub like this, it will cost around RM0.50/tub. And I've calculated my cost, it is around RM0.30/ tub. So, RM0.50/tub is really quite reasonable.

But of cuz, if your families love eating coconut jelly, making this at home is such a breeze and one packet of jelly powder can yield up to 40 small tubs. It is always best to serve your families with your homemade food which is made with love.

'Happy Grass' Coconut Jelly Powder @ RM5.50/ pkt
Note: Some places might be selling at different prices.

Small Tubs @ RM2.00/ 10 tubs
Note: Some places might be selling at different prices.

For the coconut juice and flesh, I've bought mine from the roadside vendor. Just ask the vendor to pack the juice and the flesh separately. And remember to ask the vendor not to add any sugar syrup. I've got the coconut juice at 2000ml. So I only added 1000ml more to it to make 3000ml.

If your place don't have any vendor selling fresh coconut juice and you need to buy from the hypermarket, then you need to adjust the sweetness level. I am not sure if you can use all 3000ml of coconut juice. Afraid that it will be too 'coconuty'. However, it depends on the coconut juice. So, if you buying the processed coconut juice, please adjust taste and sweetness yourselves ya!

Hope you'll enjoy making this easy peasy coconut jelly!

EASY COCONUT JELLY

Prep Time  : 10 mins
Cook Time : 25 mins
Total Time : 35 mins
Makes       : 38 - 40 small tubs

Ingredients:
1 pkt 'Happy Grass' coconut jelly powder
3 coconut juice (without sugar)
130g castor sugar
Coconut flesh (fine julienne cut)
Water

Directions:
1. Add coconut juice to plain water till 3000ml. Bring to boil.

2. Add in the castor sugar and coconut jelly powder to the solution and cook till sugar dissolved completely.

3. Turn off the flame and pour into moulds. Sprinkle the coconut flesh on top before setting it in refrigerator. Serve chilled.

Notes:
● If you prefer softer coconut flesh, you can cook the coconut flesh together in 'Step 2'. I did not cook mine because I prefer the crunch from the fresh coconut.

● When pouring into moulds, rather than using a ladle; it helps alot if you have a heat-proof jug. That way, you can easily pour the mixture into the small tubs without any spillage.

Milton from It's Me! Bluedreamer!

King of Fruits, Mr. Durian!

For two weekends consecutive, we had durians for supper. Yes, just durians! It was my hubby's idea. Apparently he was having durians fewer and got me infected. We bought our durians from the stall at the roadside nearby our home. Nowadays, they (the sellers) were so clever to open their stalls at the roadside in residential area. It was so convenient for us to buy the durians when we are on our way home.

Durians are also known as King of Fruits. It is a tropical fruit that has formidable thorn covered husk, unique odour and custard like flesh. Even with the husk still intact, you can smell the durian from afar. It is a fruit that you will either love it or hate it! Me and my hubby falls in the "Love it" category!

Durians have even been in the Bizarre Food show on AFC. The daring host, Andrew Zimmern can swallow any bizarre food down his throat but not this peculiar fruit that is known as King of Fruits. I guessed he's one of the thousand peoples that falls in the "Hate it" category.

How about you? Love it or Hate it?
