This has been a personal favorite since I was a child. I love this with lots of tapioca pearls which my mom doesn’t like so this gets cooked often without the tapioca pearls. I would just put some on my bowl before eating .I love how the different flavors of the root crops and tropical fruits would marry with the coconut cream.
What really sets this apart from other desserts is the bilo-biloor glutinous rice ball.These chewy little balls tastes heavenly with the sweet coconut cream soup. To make the glutinous rice balls,what we usually do is soak 2 cups of glutinous rice with 2 cups of water overnight and have it ground in the morning.Then using our hands we’ll form the little white balls.

♥For the glutinous rice balls:
you can use 1 cup glutinous rice flour and ½ c water
