I remember the first time when I experiment on this dish after tasting them at Thai restaurant in my city, it was many many years ago when I was still at college. And then after that I took the short cut to just eat them at Thai restaurant instead of making effort to cook one.
The idea to post this recipe was due to I accidentally have excess ingredients of pandan leaves (fresh pandan leaves can be easily found in my country and my mum used to have a pot of pandan plant at her garden, so anytime she need to use them, she just cut few leaves)
I bought some pandan leaves for making desserts and only use half of them. Upon thinking of what should I do withe the pandan leaves, I go through my old recipe books and found this long forgotten recipe.
Nevertheless… here I am…
