Attap Chee with Grass Jelly

Whenever I have ice kachang, one of my favorite ingredient will be Attap Chee 亞答子.  I love mine hard but I do know friends that prefer softer version.  Attap Chee came from Nypa palm and it is basically tasteless if not treated.

During my recent trip, I spotted huge attap chee 亞答子 and bought home some.  These are not like those available here.  Thus I need to prepare it and cook it before eating.

This Attap Chee with Grass Jelly is usually my quick fix to counter the heatiness especially it is so humid of late.

How to treat fresh attap chee
