I have posted this kueh before long time ago, back in 2010 here and also had made this several times. I'm here doing it again to join in for this month's Little Thumbs Up event with the theme, Pandan. The texture of this kueh is something between a kueh and agar agar and most of the time, i chill it in the fridge after the kueh has cooled down from cooking although you can still have the option not to put it in the fridge but if you are not able to finish it, you still got to put it in the fridge due to the contents of coconut milk. There is always a little fun marbling them, if we pour in the green layer first you will get something like this..
