Colorful, scientific name is Seven-leaf Orchid, also known as Fragrant Orchid.

Although it has only become popular in the tea drinking circle recently, it has long been famous in the Southeast Asian food circle.

It is abundant in Malaysia and Singapore. The Nyonya in Malaysia (female descendants of overseas Chinese and local aborigines) like to add this naturally aromatic plant to their food to add a fresh and sweet taste to their food.

Later, this plant was gradually blended with fresh coconut milk and evolved into various pastries.

Forms include bread, cakes, biscuits, mousse, etc.

The aroma of pandan is not as strong as that of rosemary or mint. It is like a modest gentleman and requires you to savor it slowly.

Banlan contains the volatile substance 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP for short), which is also the main source of rice aroma.

Therefore, the flavor of Banlan can be understood as rice aroma, but it is a processed rice aroma, more like the flavor of buttered popcorn, and this aroma is nearly 10 times higher than that of ordinary rice.

In the dessert circle of Southeast Asia, mango and coconut milk sticky rice is a classic. Adding mango to coconut milk and then adding pandan leaves can also experience the realm of "no rice is better than rice", and the color is also forgivable
