A.P.P.L.E

A new food & drink stall just launched at my workplace. There is this drink which has a name that triggers one’s curiosity. It’s called “Frog Milk” in English and “Qing Wa Zhuang Nai” (青蛙撞奶) in Mandarin. It tastes good and cost RM2.50, yet with simple ingredients. It’s just a mixture of UHT milk, black sugar and sago (”Pearl” in Taiwanese milk tea). I believe it got its name because of the sago which shape is round (like frog’s egg).

Today, I wanna teach you how to make this special beverage but without sago, as I don’t know where to get it or how to make it. (perhaps I’ll look for ingredients in making the sago in future) So, we can’t call this “Frog Milk”, I’ll just name it “Black Sugar Milk” instead.

All you need is just 3 things:

1. Dutch Lady UHT low fat milk (or any UHT milk of your choice)
2. Leaves black sugar (aka Teh C Special sugar 三色奶茶糖)
3. Ice cubes

Egg from centuries ago? A century is a hundred years. Now, if you are given an egg from many hundred years ago, will you dare to give it a bite? Okay, that was a joke. The term century egg is used for a Chinese cuisine, it is also known as preserved egg. It has alternative names such as hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg and thousand-year-old egg.

Orange loves to eat century egg and I always love to tease him by saying that part of the ingredients of making century egg is by using the horse’s urine. It’s more like a myth though.
