Rainbow Coconut Agar-Agar - 彩虹椰汁菜燕

Agar-agar, is essentially the Malay language for jelly. The gelatin is derived from seaweed and yes, it is very friendly to vegans. Agar-agar is of a much firmer texture comparing to jelly, least once the agar-agar is set, no matter how much you agitate it, it will not quiver or shake. Well, whatever the case, its a well loved treats especially in our warm weather.
 
I used coconut milk as part of my ingredients because coconut has a rich creamy sweet taste and when paired with agar-agar, it somehow gives a certain hint of luxury to this simple dessert.

... Have fun!
