So, as sort of an experiment, I tried to make the dessert tonight, by reverse engineering my memory of the Monterey Park dessert and combining those insights with pieces from various recipes found online.
The result... is not worth writing a blog entry about. Let's just say that the dessert went the way of Saturday's kim-chee.
So instead of telling you about the final result dessert, I thought we would have a fun little "guess the ingredient" game. Came you name these three ingredients which were all part of my not-so-wonderful-dessert?
1.
2.
3.

taro, snow cloud, and cooked gingo nut. Bingo, am I correct?
1. taro (were these the little or the big ones?)
2. chinese fungus (don't know the name) but is nice and crunchy and kinda bland tasting
3. don't know!
ps. your taco/burrito photos are making me very hungry for mexican (of which there is very little here in yvr!)
1. Taro
2. Fungus
3. Lotus seed
I think you need to use syrup or cool melted sugar, shaved ice. maybe some can fruits.
And... my mom wins. First post. And 3 for 3 on correct answers.
The terms I learned were:
芋头 (yù tóu = taro)
白木耳 (bái mù ěr) or 银耳 (yín ěr) which is "snow cloud" or "white tree fungus" (sounds yummy, eh?)
银杏 (yín xìng = gingko)
