good day to all my dear readers !!
Today for the ssc, I will be using a few combination that are truely close to us Malaysian. This time I'll be introducing a A classic flavour combination in Malaysia that serve as a dessert. Ofcourse, eating dessert as breakfast isn't the most healthiest choice, therefore I have made some small bits that will be ideal for any walk around dinner party or infact any type of gather will work fine.

I present to you: palm sugar shaved coconut, coconut cream, braised sweet potato in coconut milk and pandan broth.

All this ingredients that have been chosen are very commonly found in many of the Malaysian dessert. There are many from of incoperating all these flavours such as in cookies, cakes, shaved ice, drinks and many more. However since this is a sandwich contest, I will obviously be pairing all these ingredients with the bread.

what's in it

Palm sugar shaved coconut

Palm sugar, we called it Gula Melaka is used as the main sweetening agent in desserts and savoury dish. It has a very fragrant roasted coconut flavour. The shaved coconut I used is given to me for free, mainly because it's the left over after the extracted all the milk out of it. To make it taste good again I have combine the Palm sugar with the shaved coconut. The Palm sugar is made into a syrup first before mixing with then shaved coconut. It's been baked in a oven to dry it alittle to intensify the flavour.

braised sweet potato in coconut milk and pandan

As a Chinese we don't use oven very often. Most of the cooking we do is by braising, stewing, stir frying or steaming. In this case to implant more coconut flavour into the sandwich, I decided to braised the sweet potato in coconut milk. It's very common to find coconut milk flavoured with pandan. I braised it whole for about a hour, braising it whole help keeps its shape making the curbing process fuse free.

coconut cream

And of course it's too add even more coconut flavour plus alittle richness. I left the coconut cream open in the refrigerator to separate the fat from the liquid which is wrapped to form the coconut cream.

the bun roll

A simple dough made from milk, sugar, salt and yeast. Roll it into a long snake shape then swirl it around a cylinder mold, in this case I do not have one so I used a cylinder roll made of cardboard and wrapped with parchment paper. Apply egg wash before baking

This is what it should look like after baking.

how's made

1. Cut the roll into rings

2. Fill it with shaved coconut

3. Pipe th cream

4. Finish off by putting the sweet potato cube on to the center I top the cream
