Odd things

      I'm odd and I'm proud and ironically, it's a very odd thing to say. At first I was kind-of embarrassed about the "odd things" that I do, but somethings are just to fun to hide. I occasionally play house with my 16 year old odd ball friend, just yesterday I was throwing eggs off my roof testing my egg protection system just for fun.
      My family doesn't mind unless it's getting really annoying or if my mom finds out. But the thing that annoys my mom and my house keeper is that I love eat Ice Kachang when it's really cold out side (which is not often, and by really cold I mean pouring rain).
       I guess it's a Singapore thing, but theres also a Myanmar version of the Ice Kachang. The picture is the Singaporean version with lots of colors, kidney beans, jelly blocks, and dairy creamer. It's really good, and there are many other versions with just clear sugar syrup, and other types of beans.
      But the Myanmar version includes salty peanuts, a dollop condensed milk, kidney beans, traditional black jelly (Grass Jelly) along with jelly blocks and one or 2 flavored juice syrup. The peanuts bring a new taste and texture to the icy dessert, its saltiness balances out the sweetness. And when your mouth starts to get numb from all the ice, the peanuts give a crunch factor to the dish.



It's really easy to make this at home, its perfect for a hot summer day or in my case a really rainy one after lunch. :]
We have a manuel ice shredder at home kinda like this one, so it's a quick , easy dessert if you have guests.

Ingredients: 


-Shredded Ice
-Jelly chunks
-Kidney beans or Black beans (Canned is fine)
-Condensed milk
-Crushed peanuts (crushing optional, I like mine hole)
-Juice Syrup with a flavor of your choice


1. Shred the ice in a individual bowl until it starts to mound up, then take your hand and just push down on the ice to pack it (kinda like a snow ball).

2. Add beans, jelly. It depends how you like your Ice Kachang.

3.Drop a dollop of condensed milk on the ice, then spread about table spoon of juice syrup all over the ice. Then sprinkle some crushed peanuts over the top and enjoy!
