Veniz, there may be something in grass jelly that is not too good for preggies. I think it's the solidifying agent. I can't recall what it is but an auntie told me not to take it and she's not the traidtional sort. we were eating at Ling Zhi and there was a dessert with grass jelly.. she told me not to touch the grass jelly. that time I was in 2nd trimester.
