Shrimp Spring Rolls
Coconut Rice Pudding topped with mango ice cream (left) and toasted coconut (right). My two daughters had different requests today. :) And, yes...the ice cream does melt by lunchtime. It acts more like a creamy sauce. We discovered this, because this dish is heavenly served warm with ice cream -- which quickly melts. We love it topped with coconut ice cream, too!
Tea Eggs are a common endurance snack in China, not unlike trail mix here in the United States. They are rather stunning in appearance and have a unique, subtle flavor.
