Bubur Cha Cha

What I'll need:
  1. Sweet potatoes
  2. Yam
  3. Tapioca Flour
  4. Sugar
  5. Pandan leaves
  6. Banana (5 or 6, as desired)
  7. fresh coconut milk (I used 3 coconuts' milk)
A. Syrup

-Fill pot until 2 inches deep (around 3 cups)
-Put tied pandan leaves
-Measure 3 cups of sugar (desserts are supposed to be sweet or else, might as well save the effort of cooking! XD). Pour sugar into pot.
-Boil until sugar dissolved and leave to cool.
-Attend to potatoes/yam/bananas(step B)
-Proceed to prepare tapioca jelly(step C)
-After step B and C is done, put sugar syrup to a boil.
-Pour all coconut milk and stir to a boil.
-When it is on a small boil, gently pour potatoes. Following that, pour yam, tapioca jelly and lastly bananas.
-Leave it to simmer for a couple more minutes.
-AND YOU'RE DONE!! PHEW. IT'S ALOT OF RUBBISH CREATED LOL

B. Potatoes & Yam & Bananas

-Peel skin and cut into small diamond pieces.

Potatoes & Yam : Steam both (Put a pandan leaf into the water while steaming). After they are soft, sprinkle sugar.

AS FOR BANANAS, LEAVE THIS STEP UNTIL TAPIOCA JELLY IS DONE.
Bananas : Put cut bananas into a pot, sprinkle some sugar and pour hot water into pot. Leave in.

C. Tapioca Jelly

-Put 4 spoonfuls of tapioca flour into a plate and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and salt. Mix well and pour a little hot water. Stir. Again, pour hot water and stir until a dough is formed.
-On a smooth surface, sprinkle generous amount of tapioca flour to smoothen the surface and put dough onto surface.
-Knead dough while adding tapioca flour until dough does not show any blobs small beads (you'll know what I mean when you get to this part).
-Take a small portion of dough and roll it flat.
-Cut into small diamond shapes. Keep in mind that dough will expand.
-In to another pot, put some water to boil. When boil, pour diamond tapioca dough into boiling water.
-Prepare another bowl of cold water.
-When all floats, sift jelly and place them into the bowl of cold water.

Hunger Survival Tip 3

Here is a suggestion of multi-quick-prep food (Hopefully you have a rice cooker)

Steamed Fish/Chicken and Plain Rice
  1. On a heat-resistant plate which can fit into rice cooker, season fish/chicken with oyster sauce, pepper, sugar, salt, whatever that was used for seasoning in Hunger Survival Tip 1.
  2. When almost time for meal, add chilli for some spice. Around or under chicken, put cut tomatoes or vegetable or tofu (a more wholesome meal!)
  3. When rice is almost cooked (when rice is already fluffy but is still a little damp), put the whole plate on top of rice and let it steam until 10 minutes after rice is cooked.

Tip's Tip:
When only cooking fried rice, cook more. Leftovers can be refrigerated for another day's fried rice-to-be.

Hunger Survival Tip 2

Biko Moi/Lek Tao Moi with sago

  1. Wash beans
  2. Put beans into a pot with dried longan or longan, orange peel & pandan leaves(subjected to availability) and add water(preferably boiled or warm water-faster.)
  3. Put pot to a boil
  4. When beans are fluffier than the original shape,pour in sago, add sugar.
  5. Put fire to a smaller boil until sago shows slight to nonwhite core. Voila! Simple!
