Mung Bean Dessert (Bubur Kacang Hijau)

Ok, another one of my old recipe... simple but delicious. Now as everything is so expensive, time to save some money and cook this dessert yourself ;). I don't have a picture for this recipe, so I just borrowed the picture from a recipe book.

Variations

Add some durian flesh in the porridge during boiling to add flavour ( if you like durian hehehe) or some sweet potatoes to add some variety.

Some people also add some ginger during boiling - good for "buang angin" (what's buang angin in english?? remove wind? anyone can help? )
