Bubur Cha Cha 摩摩喳喳



Just like to record this local dessert Bubur Cha Cha in my blog here. A easy and yummy dessert that my mom used to prepare for us when we were young.

 

When I was young, I always helped my mom on making this tapioca jelly. Nowadays we can buy ready Bubur cha cha from outside stall, but I still prefer made my own, so nostalgia!

I only changed one step from my mom's recipe, she used to steam the sweet potato and yam first then  only add into syrup water, but I made into simple way, cook the potato and yam together with water..



 

These tapioca jelly are chewy and smooth ^_^
