Well, it’s not officially spring at the moment, but I can just feel it in the air.<\/p>\n

Either that, or I just cannot wait for spring produce, colorful dresses and beautiful weather.<\/p>\n

Throw in ice cream and I’d happily do a dance. Even if its for this dessert that I grew up with — adzuki porridge, or bubur kacang<\/em> for fellow Malaysian’s out there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I am a bean girl, no doubt. But I just can’t fathom the idea of eating red & black beans, savory. I am fine eating other beans\/legumes in the “savory” department, but just not these two.<\/p>\n

It’s not my fault that I grew up exposed to eating black and red beans for dessert. So whenever the Husband and I eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant – Chipotle, his order’s are usually topped with black beans. Mine on the other hand, is usually piled high with guacamole. No beans.<\/p>\n

I get stinky eyes from the Husband whenever I refuse.<\/p>\n

I’ll let you in on a secret & important ingredient in today’s recipe — pandan<\/a> leaves!<\/p>\n

Pandan (also known as “screwpine<\/em>“) leaves are widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine. It lends great aroma and flavor to sweet & savory dishes.<\/p>\n

There’s a huge possibility of not finding it in your local grocery stores, but try scouring the ethic food chains – oriental \/ thai supermarkets. If fresh is not available, look for it in the frozen section.<\/p>\n

I found it in the frozen section and I did a happy dance!!! For reals, ask the Husband if you don’t believe \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
