I made Palm Sugar Jello (Agar-agar Gula Melaka). I actually planned to make Cassava Cake and bought the frozen grated cassava a week earlier. I brought the frozen grated cassava down to defrost in the fridge the day before. When I woke up in the middle of the night on the day of the potluck (wash room break), I went to check to see if the grated cassava has defrosted properly, otherwise I can let it sit on the counter to defrost thoroughly for the baking in the morning. I then realized that I bought the wrong ingredient. Instead of grated cassava, I got the grated coconut. They must have been placed in the same section in the groceries store.

I had to look in my pantry for ingredients for another dish. Luckily I found a packet of agar-agar and a packet of gula Melaka. I had to make it in the middle of the night because it needs time to set. Whew, I managed to get it done and cleaned up by 1AM.

      Hi Connie, I checked with a couple of the organizers in the group but they do not remember who brought the Braised Beef with Daikon dish. Any, here is a recipe from youtube that looks promising, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZhz67EajGE.
