Its GREAT! & healthy too, since we didn't need to add anything - just tamar (without the seeds of course!), water and flour. It tastes kind of 'brown-sugarish', must be the fructose. The kids just love em. Ideal for rainy days... will update on pengat tamar - suspect must use dried tamar, otherwise, hancuk.

While we were there, we witnessed rain several times, and, sigh, road accidents not too infrequently too involving the local drivers.

Enjoyed your posting about the rain....I had a similar experience when I was in Kota Kinabalu a few years back - we were walking back from makan/dinner and had a long way to go still until we reached the hotel...Suddnely out of no where angin datang and with it a torrent of rain. We tried to outrun it by scrambling to the opposite side - but no uselah kan...so we then let the rain "get" us and suddenly like magic - all of us started to act like 5 year olds - splishing and sploshing with wild abandon (and for some reason laughing like crazy hyenas)...When we finally arrived at the hotel - all of us got stared as if we were aliens from outer space...But we all buat "derk" ajer and proceeded to the elevators as if butter wouldnt melt in our mouths.....It was such a carefree moment in my otherwise "jaga tingkah-laku" existence - that I still count on that memory to lift me up when I am blue...LifeBloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244787618236116206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9776295.post-83794711456543163312007-08-05T08:30:00.000+01:002007-08-05T08:30:00.000+01:00count byron, what a lovely surprise - u have been ...count byron, what a lovely surprise - u have been gone a long while and my husband and i were wondering if you are okay.
