I am never a fan of red bean confections to begin with and tao sar bao is something I detest but I’ll gleefully welcome red bean ice 红豆冰. I am not talking about ice kachang, but the drink that is made up of red beans cooked to an almost mushy state, sweetened and topped with crushed ice and a drizzle of evaporated milk. There aren’t many places in Singapore selling it. My memories of the sweet concoction was however, from Malaysia where it is commonly sold in the eateries as a homemade drink.
