Hi Aunty Yochana, i tried out this recipe last week. But because I don't have the floral moulds/cutters, i improvised by making the gula melaka layer into fillings and putting them inside the chendol shells.

Friends and family tried the agar-agar, and they went wah!! They really enjoyed it alot. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us :)

Hi yochana,

I did chendol last week so i wanted to try out this jelly.
Can i use the agar-agar strips instead of powder.
Can u tell me wht is the portion agar-agar strips should i add. coz everytime i do jelly it will come out either watery or very hard.
Please advice me.

Thanks and take care
Ela

Hi Ela,

I've not tried using agar agar strips cos it's too troublesome, so I can't advise you in case it doesn't work. Buy Rose brand agar agar powder, it's very convenient.
Agar agar is up to individual's taste. Some like it soft and some like hard and crunchy. Adjust the water to your preference.
