White wheat ginkgo nuts dessert ( in Malay, bubur gandum putih ) |
This dessert reminds me of the root of whom i am, a Peranakan ( Chinese born descendant but with the influence of Malay culture ) . Yes my grandma was a Nyonya ( female of Peranakan ). I miss Nyonya desserts and the kuih-kuih ( snacks in Malay ). In this recipe, i use good quality of Gula Malacca, and fresh Santan ( coconut milk ) instead of the packet coconut milk. It is very important to use the fresh coconut milk, not only it gives you a smooth texture and yummy taste it also gives you a memorable "after taste" which makes you crave for more, hahah!
