Method

- To the right and in front of each sugar-dipped strawberry place a dab of each powdered spice. Place a drop of each sauce facing the corresponding spice.
- Finishing decorating the plate with a spoonful of large tapioca cooked in coconut milk, served hot to provide a contrasts in texture and temperature. Otherwise, a scoop of very good vanilla ice cream will provide the desired contrast.
