goji berry & lychee jellyHey, this ain't no ordinary jello. All the Dim Sum houses in the Metro Vancouver area are currently into making this particular sweet offering for Dim Sum. It features goji berries and (canned) lychee fruit in an agar based jelly. The texture of the jelly is very firm, bordering on "crunchy".
This particular version of the jelly I had was at Spicy Court, located at Cambie and 41st. I thought the goji berries were pretty but quite indistinguishable in the jelly. The prominent flavour was the lychee. I suppose that's a good thing anyway because I don't particularly enjoy goji berries for their medicinal flavour. I just know they're good for you and uber-trendy right now in the health food markets. They also have high price tags (and unbeknownst to most of the granola crowd, they have long been used in Chinese cuisine and can be purchased at most Chinese herbal markets for a fraction of the price).

I thought this jelly was refreshing and so did Bebe. In addition, it meets my "health food" criteria in that one of its elements is deemed good-for-you...so I'm going to try to make this particular jelly at home. I'll be researching this and testing out batches to see if I could replicate it.
