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!
