Description
Fresh water chestnuts, diced into small cubes, coated in tapioca flour, and cooked until translucent — then served in sweetened coconut milk over crushed ice, with a few drops of jasmine or rosewater. The water chestnut coated in tapioca flour and cooked produces a specific textural experience: a firm, crunchy interior (the water chestnut) surrounded by a slightly translucent, slightly sticky, somewhat elastic tapioca coating. This interior crunch against the external soft-sticky coating against the cold, sweet coconut milk is the preparation's entire appeal.
