Date: 5 Nov 2019 (Tue) 16th Dessert: Kuih Tako Pandan (Pandan Coconut Jelly Dessert) [85] [100.9%] [Score: 8.0] Insert in image is the turnip I used as the filling in the bottom pandan jelly layer. I don’t know if it is the right turnip. Nyonya Cooking says to use turnip (sengkuang) or water chestnut. I went to the supermarket this morning and found this turnip. It doesn’t look like a sengkuang or water chestnut :(

Haha. They have one thing in common. All are round. But sengkuang and water chestnut are not same as turnip. Turnip is similar to radish and daikon.

Btw, the insert photo is not sengkuang cina/water chestnut. Sengkuang cina is black skin and the size is around AUD20cents. I think you can get tin sengkuang in Australia . Find it in the grocery.

Seems like you used the western turnip. Sengkuang is also known as jicama. We'll update the recipe soon to be precise.
