While popping the last few onde onde in my mouth, I began thinking about the painting which I had envisage while making those kueh. I decided to save the last couple for a bit of an art adventure..
What I did was melting the palm sugar aka gula melaka aka coconut sugar down to a syrupy consistency. To be exact (so you can also try this at home), palm sugar syrup = 50g, fresh lemon juice = 25g and agar agar powder = 1/4 TSP..
I stir all of that together and bring it up to a simmer. I let it simmer for a couple of mins, remove from heat and let it sit for 10 mins. I already chilled a bowl of canola oil, which is 500g, in the fridge overnight. I transferred the syrup mixture into a squeeze bottle and dripped droplets into the chilled oil. If you have a syringe, it will work even better..
Again, I let it chilled in the fridge for at least 10 mins. Drained them thru' a fine strainer, wash it thoroughly under running water and set aside to drain off excess liquid. That's how I got my palm sugar caviar. I also added some coconut flakes which I had dried roasted in a skillet. Sometimes we have to be a rebel and be bold. That plate was the painting which I had envisaged..
