On one of Bobby Chinn's treks to Asia (Penang, I think), he bought a drink from a food hawker named "Michael Jackson." It was plain and simple mix of grass jelly on soy milk. The combination works, at least for me. Obviously it won't if you're not a fan of black jelly.I think the light herby-bitterness of the grass jelly cuts through the richness of the soy milk. As far as I know all grass jelly products (usually sold in cans) taste the same. But soy milk may vary in flavor depending on manufacturer, and whether it has been sweetened or flavored. Use whatever you like.
I just thought I'd post this so there will be something to wash down the spicy Thai Chicken Basil Stir-fry.
