Tasty panfried vegetarian bun
I couldn't resist this vegetarian bun which was unlike any I'd seen (I can never resist trying something new). I watched fascinated as the Nan Tien Temple volunteers kneaded dough, rolled it out into circles, added some mysterious brown filling, rolled it up and then coiled it into a snail. The package was then squished flat and panfried on a smoking grill.
The bun was flaky, crispy and pastry-like. The filling was "mushroom and herbs" I was told, but I was sure I could detect finely chopped pickled mustard greens too.

Ice kacang
And to wash it all down: a big plastic cup of ice kacang. Sweetened cooked mung beans, cubes of agar jelly, coconut strips and sweet corn kernels topped with shaved ice, a squirt of bright red syrup and a dollop of creamy sweetened condensed milk. Refreshing!
