Friends were coming over for lunch, and I had fully planned Chinese meal on my mind. But, what should I serve as dessert?
Should I order natural ice cream? or should I make custard, should I set jelly or should I make fragrant cream? When I have friends over for lunch, I want to make the best of cuisine. It gives me great pleasure to cook for people who love eating my prepared food.
I decided to be creative. I decided to make a dessert of what ever ingredients I could find at home.
I had a packet of rice noodles, some yogurt and a bottle of orange squash.
And this is what I made.
“What’s the name of the dessert?” they asked
I didn’t know. This was my experiment; I had not yet given it a name. I was not even sure if it would turn out good.
Friends loved it.
Since it did not disappoint, I can share the recipe now.
