Sharing this, Soy Milk & Cincau (Grass Jelly) Mooncake. Black and white combination, inspired by the Michael Jackson drink that you can order at your local kopitiam here in Malaysia / Singapore. Why Michael Jackson? Because of his single Black or White.

2. Add agar-agar, jelly powder, sugar into a pot of water.
(Agar-agar and jelly powder should add into room temperature water and stir evenly, before turning on the heat to boil)
3. Slowly pour in soy milk into pot, stirring continuously. Once the mixture starts bubbling, turn off heat.
4. Pour a thin layer at the bottom and let it slight harden. Cool down to let it harden abit, should looks curdy.
(If you want colouring, you can mix in some colouring of your choice to make the flower pattern on the mooncake)
5. Slowly placed cut cincau in the middle of the mould.
6. Then pour the rest of the soy milk mixture and fill up. Set aside to let it cool down.

TIPS : Do not remove jelly mooncake from the mould until you are ready to eat. Jelly will release some water when oxidize.
