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.

Step 1: Prepare the Pandan Leaves and tie into a knot.
Step 2: Scrape the Coconut Flesh from the Coconuts. Thereafter, prepare the Agar-Agar Powder Mixture and set aside.
Step 3: Bring the Coconut Water and Pandan Leaves to a boil. Lower to a simmer for 5 mins till you can smell the aroma of the pandan leaves.
Step 4: Add in Sugar and stir till it melts. Then, Pour in Agar-Agar Powder mixture. Keep stirring while pouring the mixture and bring it back to boil. Once boiled, turn heat to medium low.
Step 5: Pour in the Coconut Flesh and Coconut Milk.
Step 6: At this point, Remember not to stir the mixture and let it come back to a full boil using medium low heat adjusted earlier. Once boiled, turn off the heat.
Step 7: Remove the Pandan Leaves and transfer the mixture into a mould.
Step 8: Remove the bubbles by scooping them from the top of the mixture.
Step 9: Once all the bubbles are removed, let it cool at room temperature before transferring to the fridge to set.
And this is my Childhood Overdosed Coconut Milk Agar - Agar.
