Putu Mayam

Imagine if my grandfather had never left China.

(a) I would not have struggled through Chinese classes in school

(b) I might not be able to appreciate dory in miso soup, mee siam and eggs benedict.

(c) Then again, maybe my cooking might be better.

But I am quite sure I wouldn't be enjoying putu mayam either. My mum knows I like it and brought some back today. Literally sweet...

"noodles", fresh grated coconut and orange-coloured sugar. Best eaten with fingers.
