Out of their package, SKS Food coconut cookies (150 g.; $1.50) look like checkers pressed from particleboard, but put 'em in a cereal bowl and pour on the milk, and you've got a passable attempt at shredded wheat. (The pandan and coffee flavors might fare less well.) I also ordered a cup of teh tarik (Tay ta-Reek; not shown; 75 cents), tea that is "pulled" — poured from a height, with arms spread wide — to froth it manually. At this tiny specialty-food stall, however, that's done through the much more compact gestures of tearing and pouring from an instant-mix packet.
