Today's
lunch starts with a baked
tilapia fillet, steamed
broccoli, and baked Japanese sweet potato.
I didn't mean for those to form a doleful face, but
that's what I saw after I took the photo. Oh well. On
the other side I have fresh
longans, and a fruit
salad made with mandarin oranges, kiwi fruit,
grass jelly, and coconut
gel.
Grass jelly is a black Jell-o like substance consumed
in parts of Asia either in a dessert or a drink.
By itself it has little flavor, as I found out when
I opened the can and sampled some. I'd been planning
to use it in a fruit salad anyway, so I opened up a
can of coconut gel and drizzled some of the syrup on
the grass jelly. As it turns out, that's not far from
the way it's often served: mix with fruit or serve in
sweetened icewater.
Wanna talk
about it?
