Super refreshing yet flavourful rolls made by Vietnamese rice paper. With a little tweak of ingredients to include all my favourite foods in one bite!

Coconut Mini Tarts

The freshly baked crust is so crispy it crumbles, and the aroma of coconut fills your nose with every bite. The coconut filling inside is tender and sweet, and one bite brings you pure bliss!

Shredded Chicken Serundeng

grated coconut fried to a golden hue blends harmoniously with the tender shredded chicken. Each piece of serundeng brings a balance of sweetness from the brown sugar, a touch of sourness from the tamarind juice, and the warmth of the spices—shallots, garlic, red chilies, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and coriander—that permeate throughout. The fragrance of lime leaves, galangal, and lemongrass envelops the overall aroma, creating an alluring tropical fragrance. The flavor is a dance of textures: crunchy, savory, and fragrant, with layers of complex flavors—sweet, savory, spicy, and fresh—perfect for accompanying warm rice or as a relaxing snack. This dish redefines a classic, remaining familiar yet leaving a deep flavor trail.

Coconut Milk Cloud Buns

Break one open, and the soft, stringy texture stretches out. The coconut milk hidden in the cracks oozes out, fragrant and moist, the aroma of coconut mixed with the aroma of milk piercing my nose. A bite reveals the bread is soft as cotton, the sweetness of coconut milk wrapped around the mellow aroma of wheat, a perfect sweetness that becomes more and more addictive with every chew. I've been trying to manage my weight lately, but with the smell and feel of this softness, how could I resist? So, I grabbed one, then another (with a silly grin), watching my family happily scramble for it. Any worries about losing weight faded away with the coconut aroma—after all, the carb-filled treats that the whole family can gather around to grab aren't always available. Losing weight? I'll worry about it after I finish this plate!

Coconut Milk Chewy Squares

The delicate white cubes coated in fine coconut flakes look refreshing and exquisite. I prefer the version made with white agar powder; gelatin makes it sticky, while white agar powder has a chewy, bouncy texture that's delightfully bouncy. This one doesn't contain cream; the sweetness comes purely from milk and coconut milk, with a rich coconut flavor that's not cloying, and the sweetness is just right—completely guilt-free. A cup of jasmine tea brewed at a 1:50 tea-to-water ratio is perfect. Steep in 80-85°C water for 3-5 minutes. The fresh jasmine aroma and the sweetness of the coconut milk blend perfectly. A bite of the cube followed by a sip of tea instantly balances the sweetness, leaving you feeling incredibly refreshed. Enjoy a cup of this tea with the coconut milk cubes as an afternoon snack, or have one after a meal to cleanse your palate. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with family, it brings a sense of pure bliss.
