I do not know why but I just love to eat all kinds of tapioca desserts (especially this Steamed Tapioca Kuih with Coconut). Recently, I have been seeing a lot of tapioca in the market so I bought some to make this soft textured, delicious kuih for our dessert. However, I had a problem…. I didn’t know which one to choose, they came in so many shapes and sizes! Which one, which one? I guess you can never go wrong when asking some older folks for advice. I saw two elderly ladies near me and I asked them. They gladly taught me how to choose the right ones like an expert. Happily, I bought 3 pieces of skinny and long tapioca and here I am sharing with you another one of my dessert “adventures”.
I hope you like the dessert that I am sharing with you. We love to hear from you so once you have tried this recipe, we hope that you could provide us with some feedback/comments.

May I know the amount of water to be added for step 3.
Hi Angelina, the water stated in step 3 was a mistake. Sorry for the confusion. Happy cooking! 🙂
