Yay! Finally! After almost 2 months of water rationing, it feels GREAT to get our lives back to normal again! ^^
It has been so hard to bake or cook during the past 2 months, with only a ONE-day window of opportunity of water supply, in between 3 days of no-water. Lucky (or unluckily, depending on how you see it) for us, our apartment tank water lasted almost 2 days. So we had no water only for a day. Of course, I've heard of some apartments' tank water lasting throughout the water-blackout, oh, lucky them! If only our apartment residents were more prudent and conscientious, it would have lasted longer I suppose!
You have no idea how much I wished everyone did all their chores, cooking and laundry on that ONE-day, and saved water for only the ALL-IMPORTANT bathing and toilet use for the rest of the "no-water" days. That would have made things so much better! If only everyone thought the same.. am I too extreme? Nawhhhhh... ^^
Longan milk jelly (adapted from mybaking)
~ makes a lot! ^^
3 tsp agar-agar powder
130-140g sugar
2 litres of water (1 can of longan syrup and top up with water)
10 pandan leaves (optional ~ I didn't ^^)
1 can of evaporated milk (400g)
1-2 cans of longan
1. Bring agar-agar powder, sugar and longan syrup+water to a boil.
2. Once boiled, add evaporated milk and again bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and leave to cool for about 8-10 minutes.
3. Strain/sieve mixture before use. Place a piece of longan into each mould and fill with mixture.
4. Chill thoroughly or at least 3-4 hours before serving. Serve immediately.
Happy days ahead! ^^ ^^ ^^ ~~~~~~

I guess life has turned upside down with the water rationing going on for the past two months. So I hope I could see you do more baking and posting to your blog soon. Your last pic is beautiful with that jellies. It is really a hot hot day here and wish I could some of your jelly. The past few days I was thinking of making the Coconut Agar Agar too.
I can imagine the hot hot days you're having.. at least there's some rain over here almost every day. Well, jellies are easy and quite perfect to cool down ^^ so make your beautiful coconut jellies soon.. your gorgeous rose bundt moulds sure need a workout! ^^
Hi Hui,
How are you?
Jellies looks good :D
Glad to read that the water woes are over :)
I can imagine how difficult it must have been, took me back to the year when we hosted Commonwealth Games (cant remember the year :O ), water rationing for few months, water tanker came to distribute yucky murky grossed out looking water. But beggars can't be choosers. Then had to haul them up all the way to fill up my bath tub.
