My family and I recently went on a little trip to Sydney for a concert, and it was such a delight to take our kids to experience proper Yum Cha for the first time.
We had this great idea of letting the kids choose whatever they wanted to eat off of the little Yum Cha carts to get the proper experience, and both of the kids jumped at the coconut jelly for dessert and loved it. I think its a lovely textural dessert and full of coconut flavour. I have made a healthier version of the traditional dessert using Xylitol for the sweetener, so it is also great for low carbers and those with diabetes who want a little sweet treat. I hope you enjoy it as much as our kids do!
