Description:
Ais kacang is a Malaysian dessert which
is also common in Singapore and Brunei.Traditionally a special ice
machine is used to churn out the shaved ice used in the dessert,
originally hand cranked but now more often motorized. Formerly, it was
made of only shaved ice and red beans, though the number and diversity
of ingredients has since expanded.
Today, ais kacang generally comes in
bright colours, and with different fruit cocktails and dressings. In
Malaysia, almost all variants now contain a large serving of attap chee
(palm seed), red beans, sweet corn, grass jelly and cubes of agar agar
as common ingredients. Other less-common ingredients include aloe vera,
cendol, nata de coco, or ice cream. A final topping of evaporated milk,
condensed milk, or coconut milk is drizzled over the mountain of ice
along with red rose syrup and sarsi syrup.
