I loved the "ais kacang" when I was in Singapore. It had those doughy green blobs in it. In the Philippines, there is some similar Ice-Dessert- for-the-Masses called "halo-halo" (literally, "mix-mix"), which has ice, milk, sweet beans, custard (leche flan), nata de coco (coconut jelly), ube (mashed purple yam), among other things. There is a similar "dezaato" in Japan too; beautiful plastic look-alike forever-fresh incarnations are displayed in front of the restaurants. --Viktor http://purl.oclc.org/net/tonguesea
