Colourful Variety of Malay Desserts.

Isn't this such a pretty sight? All the colours, yummy, sooo apetizing... These are some sweet treats that can be found here in Malaysia.
Little chewy balls with a surprise centre and fluffy coating above is called Ondeh-Ondeh.These are pleasantly soft chewy balls made from glutinous rice paste with sweet gula Melaka or palm sugar filling and coated with fluffy, slightly salty grated coconut.
Another sweet treat, Kuih Dadar, a type of green pancake made of rice flour and the colour is from the "daun pandan"or screwpine leaves , and is filled with grated, sweetened coconut.

We also had the pulut inti  ~ steamed glutinous rice with coconut milk, topped with shredded coconut in palm sugar and wrapped in banana leaf.
With so many sweet treats around, well it is hard to watch our weight, isn't it? Hahaha...
