AGAR AGAR!

Probably mistaken as the easiest things to do beside baking.
Just because we buy the agar agar powder in a packet, add water and sugar as directed.
Put desired fruits and we have something to munch on after an hour of chilling or so.
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!
That's because often you will end up with a agar agar which is too crunchy- not enough water added
or too limpy to even remove from the already user friendly mould- too much water added.
I had several failed attempt while making this so easy dessert and only after several enlightment from mum did i made my agar agar successfully.
Do remember to drain the fruit thoroughly.
The water from the fruit can affect the texture too. =)
Pour the syrup slowly to avoid air bubbles.!
And once you are ready, chilled them.
Never made them at the very last minutes and put them in the freezer in attempt to set it quickly.
Craving for agar agar now?
=D
