Looks delicious. I'd like to try it. I'll check in a local Asian market to see if I can find the pandan (screwpine) leaves.

Thank you, Alice! I hope you'll like it. If you can get pandan (screwpine) leaves to cook the rice in, it will be very fragrant. If you can't get it, just omit it and the recipe will still work. Here in Houston, I can only get frozen ones. So, do check the frozen section if you can't find fresh ones in the produce section.
