Not long ago, I talked to one of my friends (You know who you are) about this coconut agar-agar that I had during my childhood at one of the dim sum restaurants and she shared with me one of the recipes she has gotten online. As I don't like it too sweet and I really loved an overdose of coconut milk for its great aroma, I came out with this.
