So you might be questioning, "What the heck is it?"...Well, I am goin to unveil in a short while...

Ais kacang is a mixture of blended ice and various types of beans such as corn and red bean as well as jellies. This cold dessert is nice to be eaten during hot weather, but as Malaysia is experiencing hot weather everyday, so it will be a daily delicacy for Malaysians. :D

This is Egg Tart. Although is a non-Malaysian food, it is famous among Malaysian Chinese as well as other races. Here is the picture of Egg Tart.

Recipes? It's below.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 dash vanilla extract
2/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups water
9 eggs, beaten
1 dash vanilla extract
1 cup canned evaporated milk

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and flour. Mix in butter with a fork until it is in small crumbs. Stir in the egg and vanilla until the mixture forms a dough. The texture should be slightly moist. Add more butter if it is too dry, or more flour, if the dough seems greasy. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides. Use 2 fingers to shape the edge into an A shape.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine the white sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain the eggs through a sieve, and whisk into the sugar mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla. Strain the filling through a sieve, and fill the tart shells.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown, and the filling is puffed up a little bit.
