Uncomplicated Pleasure of Summer Days
May 23, 2021 - Sago Rose
This morning, I hurled open my patio furniture covers and curled up excitedly with a book in hand. I thought about the uncomplicated pleasure of the summer days ahead and my mind started to drift.
I imagined an afternoon high tea in my garden patio serving Kampong treats for a small group - a gathering that delights the taste buds amidst the beauty of mother nature, where unlikely friendships blossom and a sense of community develops. A memorable experience in an intimate space that connects us because of the food we enjoy! With California set to open on June 15, perhaps this may not seem as far fetched after all. Does that speak to you? Drop me a line and let me know what you think.
Meanwhile, this month's offering features Sago Rose, a bouncy jello like kuih* made from tapioca pearls coated with grated coconut. It is mildly sweetened with rose flavored syrup and can be served at room temperature (great for picnics) or chilled (perfect for those hot summer days).
Along with Sago Rose, the kuih box will also include
- Pulut Panggang - grilled banana leaf wrapped glutinous rice with serunding (spiced meat floss) filling
- Bingka - baked coconut cassava cake, slightly crusty on the outside, moist in the center
Thank you!
