My sweet Mung Bean ^^

Aloha,...
How are you my friends?

Our topic today is about dessert. Dessert is something sweet and usually served at the end of a meal. Our dessert today is very simple, you only need mung bean, coconut milk and ice (optional). Mung beans are good source of protein. It is also high in fiber, has lot's of benefits for the immune and metabolism system. When I was in Indonesia, my mom usually made it for me or we could buy it in our favorite shop. Here in the the Netherlands, I found the Mung bean in the oriental market. So, I decided to make Mung bean with the coconut milk.  Do you want to try it?
