[glow=red:1ohw49e0]Michael Jackson in Kuala Lumpur[/glow:1ohw49e0]
Now that I have your attention, let me explain. While we were in Kuala Lumpur, we were wandering around and noticed a soy milk stall that seemed to be pretty popular. Jenkins and I had some delicious soy milk in Singapore so we were looking forward to checking out what Kuala Lumpur (KL) had to offer.
Since it was stifling hot in KL, we ordered a cold soy drink and the vendor asked if we wanted some grass jelly in our soy milk. He assured us that it was a popular option so we decided to give it a try since it only cost about $0.15 CAD extra. After I came back to Vancouver, I found out that this is a pretty popular drink in Malaysia and I suppose due to its colour, Penang vendors started calling it the Michael Jackson, after his Black or White song. And there you have it…Michael Jackson in Kuala Lumpur. I should note that this drink was as tasty as promised and is actually quite easy to make at home. All you need is some sweetened soy milk and a can of grass jelly!
[highlight=#ffffbf:1ohw49e0]* Wow, was I fooled with the title[/highlight:1ohw49e0]. I honestly thought Michael Jackson was in Kuala Lumpur but NO it is a drink called after him.. Never tried Michael Jackson before, maybe this will be a good time to do so.. <!-- slolol/ -->lolol/<!-- slolol/ --> I am very happy to see people all over the world will never forget Michael Jackson. We should do this drink, every super market sell soy milk and grass jelly! We just need to find out how much of the ingredients, and then we can actually say I drank Michael Jackson <!-- slolol/ -->lolol/<!-- slolol/ -->

oh I found it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_jelly
Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei
Plain grass jelly is mixed in various kinds of desserts, such as ice kacang and cendol. It is also mixed with soy milk to produce a milky white liquid with black strands in it, a drink known as Michael Jackson in South-East Asia (a humorous reference to Michael Jackson's changing skin color and/or the song "Black or White").[6]
[edit] Taiwan
Still sounds incredibly AWFUL...
I have to admit, since I drink soy, I would actually try this.
Thanks for sharing !
