- To add more texture and flavor, try adding some sliced jackfruit or banana to the finished soup.
- If you find that the soup is too thick, you can add more water to thin it out.
- For a healthier version of the recipe, consider using coconut milk instead of regular milk.
- The soup can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on your preference.
- If you would like a more intense flavor, add additional tangerine peels and pandan leaves to the soup.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences.
