One of the disasters...

Ok, this looks alright but it really was a disaster.

I followed the recipe reasonably well...my only change was to half the ingredients.
The tapioca was cooked for 45 minutes in coconut milk, water and palm sugar.
For some reason the tapioca didn't cook through properly or perhaps dried out in the chilling process in the fridge?
Or maybe it was because I served it as individual servings rather than one large desert?

The mandarin syrup was great. It had that slightly unusual taste that you get using palm sugar.

Maybe I'll try this concept again with a different recipe, and maybe I'll stick to the recipe this time?
