Kuih Tako Pandan

EX Dessert with Simple Ingredients



I ordered this dessert from a Thai restaurant which cost me for SG1.50 per piece. When i made this on my own, it's just cost me less than SG5. Here is my ingredients price breakdown:




Pandan= SG0.60
Green Pea Flour=SG1
Water Chestnuts= SG0.80
Coconut Milk= SG1
Rice Flour= Available in my stock
Sugar= Available in my stock

U must be surprised on the price of ingredients and yet the ready products are so expensive. HAHA... Anyway, this is my first time trying out on this kuih. Reviews are good though!!! Oh yaaa, thanks for my sis in law's suggestion on adding some corns into the coconut layer. I'm very sure they are perfect combinations! COCONUT LAYER WITH CORN + PANDAN LAYER WITH WATER CHESTNUTS!
