Did you know that you could make a desert out of pandan leaves? (In Bangladesh, pandan is called ketaki.) The pandan plant looks more or less like grass. However it is widely used in Southeast Asian cooking as flavoring. In fact, it can be used for rice dishes, cakes, and drinks. What do I want to try? Thai pandan custard! This lovely green custard is made from pandan leaves, coconut milk, cream, sweetener, and eggs. However until I can find a place that serves the custard, I'll settle for some pandan ice cream. I've been putting off my trip to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory...
