Shaved Ice

The NYT had a good article on shaved ice desserts ...

"Shaving the Ice, Cutting the Heat," by Dana Bowen, The New York Times, August 10, 2005

We are very fond of the Malaysian shaved ice, ABC, at Nyona ... ABC = air batu campur, also called "ice kachang" ... ABC is not just a good dessert ... it is an excllent palate cleanser between dishes ... at Nyonya order it at the beginning of the meal ... right after you order the roti canai ... so it has time to melt ... mmmmmmmmmmm ...

Nyonya, 194 Grand St., 212-334-3669

Here's a picture of the ABC from Malaysia Kopitiam, our favorite Malaysian restaurant in Washington, DC ... it may not look like something you'd want to eat .. but take it from a fifth-generation Celtic-American ... a good ABC is easily the peer of the best ice cream ...
