Right after lunch I fancied shaved ice as it’s so bloody hot. I picked out a few ingredients for my bowl but ended up eating only the ice and 2 things, black and white jelly cubes. I’m familiar with these 2 things but it turned out the rest was just various shapes made from glutinous rice flour. I have an irrational reaction to the texture (triggers gag-reflex) and unfortunately couldn’t eat any more. Also, now I make sure to let them know I don’t want any syrup either. Beans and taro are too sweet, not to mention heavy. Fresh fruits are OK but not tinned fruits. Guess my options are now quite small then. I love seaweed jelly, salted lime jelly and that sort of “safe” thing.
From a distance and behind glass I thought the balls were gingko nuts. How wrong I was! These little glutinous rice flour balls made me squeasy.
