Red Rubies / Tub Tim Grob
March 09, 2022
Red rubies known as Tub Tim Grob, is a refreshing Thai dessert.
Excellent to serve on hot summer days!
Tub tim means red rubies and grob (krob) means crunchy.
1. Water chestnuts cut into cube.
Note : I used frozen water chestnuts as fresh water chestnuts are hard to find in Perth.
2. Add red food colouring to the water chestnuts.
3. Coat water chestnuts with tapioca flour.
4. Cook the water chestnuts in hot boiling water briefly.
This is to create a jelly like coating around water chestnuts.
5. Dish out the red rubies from hot water and soak in cold water.
6. Drain off the syrup from canned jackfruit into a jug.
Set aside to use later.
7. Thinly slice jackfruit.
8. A can of coconut milk.
Note : I used canned coconut milk. Again fresh coconut milk is hard to come by.
9. Make syrup by cooking sugar, water and pandan leaf.

I shall start the New Year with something sweet...with the hope that 2010 will be as good as ... or better than 2009.
2009 was a good year with the exception of the last two weeks of December, I had to make my pilgrimage to the hospital again!! 'Woman - we have a lot of 'tweaking' here and there ... nothing major or cosmetic...
And according to Malay "beliefs", we aren't allowed to consume certain type of food or fruits after having a surgery, be it major or minor!! We aren't allowed to have eggs, prawns, squids as it may cause irritation, inflammation and may leave a nasty scar!!
Anything that is considered 'cold' is a No! No!. Pineapple may cause bleeding and its considered 'cold' fruit. Jackfruit is a definite NO... it is one of the 'cold' fruits and it will cause the patient to feel 'chill' on the inside and bloat!!!
So I made this dessert the very weekend before I went under the scalpel....knowing very well that I will and dare not 'go against' the 'beliefs'.
This is one of my favourite Thai desserts...I love the taste of jackfruit with coconut milk and crunchiness of the red ruby. Never fail to order this delicious dessert ... whenever I visit any Thai restaurants..
Just imagine... me... in Bangkok?? I'll be going round the 'stalls' and 'malls' looking for the best Thup Tim Grob!! instead of shopping!!! Mr H will be very please to read this!!
