MALAYSIAN MOST FAVOURITE DESSERT


Ais Kacang is mostly known as 'ABC'  acronym for Air Batu Campur, literally meaning "mixed Ice". Ais kacang is a Malaysian dessert and it is served  especially during noon.Formerly, it was made of only shaved ice and red beans, though the number and diversity of ingredients has since expanded. Today, Ais Kacang generally comes in bright colours, and with different fruit cocktails and dressings. In Malaysia, almost all variants now contain a large serving of  palm seed, red beans, sweet corn , grass jelly and cubes of agar agar as common ingredients. Other less-common ingredients include cendol, nata de coco, or ice cream. A final topping of evaporated , condensed milk, or coconut milk is drizzled over the mountain of ice along with red rose syrup and . Some stalls have even introduced novelty toppings such as durian, chocolate syrup and ice cream. There are also versions that shun the multi-coloured syrup and are served with just a drizzling of gula melaka syrup instead.
