Lapis Sagu II - Trial 1


Today I am using a different recipe to try the difference between using 2 types of flour (Tapioca, rice flour) and 4 types of flour (Tapioca, Sago, Mung bean, Rice flour). Been very curious to see what the flour will affect the Lapis! 

Ok so my older recipe rhat I follow previously yield sticker texture but I am using only Ayam Brand Trim Coconut Milk and the coconut taste is stronger. Today I am using Alan’s recipe and based on his, he use a mix of coconut cream & coconut milk. I am using Kara coconut cream and JW coconut milk as shown below. To my disappointment, the coconut fragrance is not enough which I feel can be stronger. And I cut on the sugar as we prefer less sweet, I think its just nice today. Texturewise, it is ‘sturdier’ and less sticky, I can peel off layer easily as well. I think I will definitely stick to this recipe in future but I need work on my coconut ratio 💪🏻💪🏻


The colour turns out better but I still need to work on the layering. Took me about 1hr+ from start of steaming til end. Left it to cool for about 2-3hrs then slice them with an ‘oiled’ knife. Just in time for Tea today! ❤️❤️
