Shaved ice is served with a wide variety of toppings and syrup to make such a refreshing dessert and filled with amazing texture and taste. Ice kachang is a popular dessert in Singapore and Malaysia.
Cook the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat and let it cools down completely. You can divide it into two portions and add food coloring. I use red and green. The intensity of the color depends on how much food coloring you use. It's really up to you
Prepare gula Melaka syrup:
If the gula Melaka comes in block, cut it into little pieces so they dissolve faster. Cook with the water until all sugar dissolves. Let it cools down completely
Putting things together (the amount of ingredients are flexible):
I use a blender to shave the ice. If you have shaved ice machine, that's great. It's easier to serve ice kachang in a bowl. I use a cup for photography reason. Spoon about 1 to 2 tbsp of sweetened red beans, some grass jelly cubes and cendol jelly, 3-4 pieces of toddy palm seeds, 2-3 tbsp of creamed sweet corn. Top with mountain of shaved ice. Drizzle with red and green simple syrup, gula melaka syrup and drizzle of condensed milk. Serve immediately
