Bee Koh – A simple sweet Nyonya dessert

by jeroxie September 24, 2009

Flipping through the Nyonya recipe book, I realised that the Nyonyas & Peranakans have very sweet tooth. The most common ingredients used are sugar, glutinous rice, coconut milk and pandan or banana leaves.

This is one of the many dessert recipes that I will try making. It is a simple glutinous rice pudding and I am sure it will satisfy anyone who loves the big sugar hit. You will be able to find the glutinous rice and pandan leaves in almost any Asian grocery shops. Just note that it is hard to find fresh pandan leaves here so they will be stored in the freezer. I made the mistake of not checking when I was in Footscray. Mister drove me all the way to Richmond and then realisation hit me. Duh~~~
