My wife and I made this dessert for my nephew’s baby girl 1 month old celebration. At first, some guests thought they were actually Ang Ku Kueh and didn’t try them as they were already full. But when they realised that these were agar agar they couldn’t stop at one and loving it. Very happy that they found it unique and nice and it’s a first for most of the guests.
