h. 1 pack cendol green noodles (can find them at the Asian store or Indian shop)


Directions:
1. Peeled the yam and sweet potato, cut them into small cubes, steam about 20-30 minutes.  Use a chopstick to prick through to test if they are cook.
2. Rinse the black-eyed beans.  Cook them in the boiling water about 20 minutes or until soft.  Drain it and prepare to use later.
3. Cook coconut sugar or gula Melaka in separate pot with some water till it dissolved completely.  Drain it with strainer to filter out solid matter.
