Dessertilicious – How about slurping some frog fallopian tubes
Introduction:
Hasma are made from dried fatty tissues found near the bullfrogs fallopian tubes.
Commonly doubled boiled with rock sugar and served as dessert. When boiled the texture turned glutinous, chewy, light and turned opaque in colour.
Singapore very own hasma from Jurong Frog Farm.
Sold in rehydrated irregular flat pieces and flakes and can expand up to 10 to 15 times in size once soaked.
It’s best to cook them in a slow crock pot.
I usually combined the hasma with red dates, raw sugar cane and longan together with a few knotted pandan leaves (screwpines) for a more flavourful dessert.
Checked out here on how to prepare Hasma dessert.
