Putu Bambu

  

“PUTU BAMBU” yeah, that’s one of my favorite Indonesian dish, well it actually more like a dessert or snack. It’s such an interesting food, why? The way they make this food is unique, where the mixture of shredded coconut, rice flour, and Javanesse brown sugar is steamed inside a piece of bamboo! The brown sugar is placed in the middle of the rice and shredded coconut. After they steamed this for a few minutes, it will form like a popsicle, where then they serve it topped with white sugar and more shredded coconut, which blends together and it will  melt in your mouth. I know you guys must be very curious about it right? Below this text is some pictures I’ve took , check it out!
