This Malay snack is actually steamed rice flour cakes filled with palm sugar. It was a childhood treat for me as I used to buy it from the coffeeshop next to Watsons in Serangoon Gardens. This Malay lady used to make it on the spot and I can still remember the individual silver containers with the cakes inside. The delicious smell and the hot steam are also in my consciousness.
I had another opportunity to eat it again when I went to Kampong Glam about a couple of years back. I actually waited for it to be made by walking around the area twice before returning to the coffeeshop. I recommended it to my friends too. I felt as if I was in gourmet heaven when I had my first bite of it. :)
