This sweetened coconut milk dessert is served throughout the day as a dessert, snack or even supper. Commonly found sold by street vendors in Penang, bubur cha cha is a big favourite among locals. Similar to the cha cha dance, this coconut milk dessert is fun especially with the variety of ingredients and colours it contains.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips to prepare tapioca jellies<\/h3>\n<p>It may be not that easy to make these tapioca jellies. They look really pretty, like stained glass. Many commented that they did not turn out too well. The trick to preparing the jellies is to use really hot water, that is the water has to be\u00a0<strong>boiling<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h3>Cooking sago<\/h3>\n<p>As for cooking the sago, ensure that enough of water is used to prevent them from sticking together. The ratio of water to sago should be 10 to 1. Sago should only be added into boiling water. Adding sago to room temperature water will cause them to dissolve. When cooking the sago, keep stirring to prevent them from clumping together.<\/p>\n<h3>Basic and optional ingredients in bubur cha cha<\/h3>\n<p>A basic bowl of bubur cha cha consist of taro and sweet potatoes. In this recipe, other ingredients are added to enhance the flavour of the dish. Other optional ingredients you may add are pearl sago, black eyed peas, yam, tapioca, banana, sweet potatoes and tapioca jellies. Banana slices give an extra punch to this dessert. You may choose and pick the combination of ingredients according to your preference.<\/p>\n<h3>Cold or warm bubur cha cha<\/h3>\n<p>Bubur cha cha can be served either cold or warm. Refrigerate it for at least 3 hours to serve it chilled. It can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Reheat it if you would like to serve it hot again. Since it contains coconut milk, it should not be kept for too long.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mmt-886631f1-0348-4515-9dba-9a3ddaa5b299\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"scroll-offset\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"section-steps\" class=\"mb-4\"><i class=\"fal fa-fw fa-list-ol text-brand\"><\/i>\u00a0Steps to Prepare<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div class=\"card shadow-sm border-0 mb-4\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 577px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/2b2e9f96-c285-4bc2-b480-88b400b7a54c\/-\/scale_crop\/1280x720\/center\/-\/quality\/lightest\/-\/format\/webp\/\" \/><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(max-width: 576px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/2b2e9f96-c285-4bc2-b480-88b400b7a54c\/-\/scale_crop\/640x360\/center\/-\/quality\/lightest\/-\/format\/webp\/\" \/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 577px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/2b2e9f96-c285-4bc2-b480-88b400b7a54c\/-\/scale_crop\/1280x720\/center\/-\/quality\/lightest\/-\/format\/jpeg\/-\/progressive\/yes\/\" \/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(max-width: 576px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/2b2e9f96-c285-4bc2-b480-88b400b7a54c\/-\/scale_crop\/640x360\/center\/-\/quality\/lightest\/-\/format\/jpeg\/-\/progressive\/yes\/\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lozad bg-light rounded-top\" src=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/2b2e9f96-c285-4bc2-b480-88b400b7a54c\/-\/scale_crop\/1280x720\/center\/-\/quality\/lightest\/-\/format\/jpeg\/-\/progressive\/yes\/\" alt=\"Bubur Cha Cha (Nyonya Coconut Milk Dessert) Step 1\" width=\"100%\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ucarecdn.com\/2b2e9f96-c285-4bc2-b480-88b400b7a54c\/-\/scale_crop\/1280x720\/center\/-\/quality\/lightest\/-\/format\/jpeg\/-\/progressive\/yes\/\" data-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"card-body content-body\">\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>\u00a0<small>of 6<\/small><\/p>\n<ul class=\"fa-ul\">\n<li><\/li>\n<li>\n<ul class=\"list-inline\">\n<li class=\"list-inline-item mr-3\"><strong>80\u00a0g\u00a0<\/strong>tapioca flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-inline-item mr-3\"><strong>50\u00a0ml\u00a0<\/strong>water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To prepare the tapioca jelly, create a dough by adding water to the tapioca flour.
