Ondeh ondeh is a beloved snack in Malaysia and Indonesia, often enjoyed during festive occasions, special celebrations, or as a delightful treat during afternoon tea. They are popular for their unique taste and texture, and they hold a nostalgic value for many who grew up enjoying them.
Ondeh ondeh consists of small, chewy balls made from glutinous rice flour filled with palm sugar (gula Melaka) and coated with grated coconut. The filling is made from palm sugar, which has a rich, caramel-like flavor that adds depth to the sweetness. The sweetness is balanced by the natural flavor of the glutinous rice flour. The grated coconut coating adds a nutty, aromatic flavor, enhancing the overall taste experience and contributing to the tropical essence of the snack.
