Friday was the last day of term and my class took me out for Chè after the lesson. I'm still trying to decide if I like it or not - some seem quite nice but others are very strange. It is made with some kind of liquid produced from things like rice or taro (?) that is then sweetened and then a whole bunch of other stuff is added to it. Some of it works well (things like jellies, coconut or caramel) but things like kidney beans or corn seem like such a strange thing to put into a sweet dessert!

This is what it looks like

We have it sometimes at work for special occasions and they tend to get the more basic versions with just two or three ingredients but my students ordered one for me that had a little bit of everything in it. With each mouthful I was changing my opinion about it as one mouthful was nice with coconut and jelly and then the next one would have lychee and kidney bean which is not something that should ever go together! I might have to take the family for some when they come and visit and see what their opinion is.

Yesterday I met a friend for a drink in the evening and we decided to get dinner from the restaurant next door and I rediscovered my love for La Lot so i also plan to take the family there for another fix. The version we had yesterday was chicken, but it is also available in beef and it is AWESOME!

You could even make it for yourself...

One more week at work then it's holiday time!!!!
