Looks like I just need to sharpen my skills.

I do the one with corn kernals, but no 3-4 bean mix, got that from J Oliver, I will try it your way.... noice.
I'm yet to try coconut sugar - I'm a bit turned off by the price
If you buy it in a health food store or Coles, it is very expensive. But if you go to your local Asian grocery/deli it is cheap.
How much are you paying for coconut sugar property_girl ?
Sadly I dont have a local asian grocery/deli.
My first lot came from here. A bit expensive but it's a great alternative to conventional sugar for the sweet tooth.
1 kg will last me a couple or three months though.
Unless we make cakes/slice with it.

Your price isn't too bad. Mine comes in a block which you have to grate. I think the last block I bought was about $5. I've thrown out the wrapper, so sorry I can't give you more detail. It comes from the Philippines. The same shop also sells really cheap creamed coconut. I use that to make coconut yoghurt, which is super-expensive in the shops.
Buy online,it's cheaper...
Btw off topic?I read an article where in a nsw asian restaurant they charged asians 2$ cheaper for a dish as food menus were written in asian.
Most engrish speaking punters could not interpret,hence they paid 2$ more for a raw prawn.
Imo,that is just crab!
spades and thefence, I just bought my gula malaga (coconut sugar) from my local Asian deli. $2.50 for 400 grams. not bad.
gula melaka is delicious but is palm sugar, not coconut.
Knowing Sanj I was pretty sure he was correct but I checked and google does seem to say that Gula Melaka is made from the coconut palm. Not necessarily the same way that other coconut sugar is made though

Thanks Westminster. This is exactly what mine looks like--it's in a solid cylindrical block. The article says that 'Gula melaka is made by making several slits into the bud of a coconut tree and collecting the sap'.
Simplest dinner - bunch of vegies, some potatoes, a few pieces of chicken (or any other meat). Put onto a steam-safe plate. Add herbs, chilli, lemon, salt.
Put into steamer.
Come back 15mins later.
Dessert - easy to eat fruit like oranges, bananas, etc.
To save on washing, don't wash the plate - just rinse with boiling water and reuse it. It won't start to stink until around 2-3 weeks.
This was basically my entire diet at uni.
