Coconut and Palm Sugar Tapioca

I am one of those lucky people who didn't grow up on school meals so I don't have the aversion to tapioca that it seems many have. This is a simple and perfect combination as the tapioca absorbs in all the flavour. This recipe also includes a pandan leaf which is used to add a flavour similar to vanilla.
