The weather has been so hot lately.... So, this afternoon, I can't resist a bowl of Es Kacang (beans ice) which is pretty nice to cool a bit the mouth and throat :)
Red beans (kacang merah)
Mug beans (kacang ijo)
Fermented tapioca (tape)
Black leaf jelly (cincau hitam)
Put all in a small bowl
Add vanilla syrup and coconut milk.
Drizzle some rose syrup and condense milk on the top
Mix it altogether... and it's ready :)
Selby, you're so right - this is gorgeous. I can almost feel it in my mouth. Great photos.

It's extremely hot in my place too. Your Es kacang reminds me of my hometown. Feeling homesick now. :(

ReplyDeleteABC = Air Batu Campur.....
Chinese Fujian/Hokkien called :
Ang Tau Ping or Peng
Ang is red/merah
Tau is nut/kacang
Ping/peng is ice/air batu and Indonesia said Es
I think you know where the name came from
:D
My favourite...perfect for hot weather. We eat a lot of this when we go back for holidays. Thanks for sharing. MaryMoh at http://www.keeplearningkeepsmiling.com

Good to know the hokkien terms for this es kacang, thanks!
mary: Hi Mary, thanks for stopping by my blog :) Es kacang is a wonderful treat especially on a hot day.
Oh wow, your version of this dessert has so much more exotic ingredients. Ours pale in comparison. Love the idea of putting tape into it.
ReplyDeleteBut have u tried durian es kacang?
qwazymonkey: durian es kacang? whoaaa... that sounds very yummy one! Here, there's only es kacang or es duriang, no mix of them.
ReplyDeleteooh! i am going to post about this REAL soon too~ :)hehe
ReplyDeletecumi & ciki: can't wait for the REAL one ;P

ReplyDeleteI've never had beans in my dessert but I love shaved ice. The pink color is so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteYum! This sounds like a Korean dessert (pat bing su) that everyone is always telling me to try.
ReplyDeleteIt is similar to the ice kacang in Penang minus the unique toppings.
ReplyDeletemonica h: Oh.. you gotta try it someday, it's yummy especially on a hot day ;)
ReplyDeletejason wong: I would love to try the Penang ice kacang version :)

healthyrainbow: I had this in Tomang area, not so sure about the address though.
ReplyDeleteGot your email, thanks! :)
I ate lots of shaved ice when I was still a kid...miss it.
ReplyDeleteFermented tapioca sounds quite interesting.
angie's recipes: Kids never can't resist shaved iced, even the elderly ;)
ReplyDeleteFermented tapioca is nice and also good for the skin.
