Maybe because the insides filled up the bowl where it was soaked in. <br /><br />During fasting month, some folks mix this with rose-scented, diluted evaporated milk and 'biji selasih' (basil seeds that look like frog-eggs when soaked). The drink, called 'Air Katira' is good for cooling the body down after a day of fasting. And its sweetness help re-energise our body as well.mkiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391460693776229179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-19446616354051005442010-06-23T01:53:55.206+08:002010-06-23T01:53:55.206+08:00its the seed of the cheng tng tree that has been s...its the seed of the cheng tng tree that has been soaked in water so it expands and floats on top of our cheng teng dessert!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-9531737787486506002010-06-22T15:36:10.394+08:002010-06-22T15:36:10.394+08:00Sounds like a good for our Hot weather in KL now. ...Sounds like a good for our Hot weather in KL now. the brown stuff is commonly known as Kembang Semangkuk here in Malaysia.
