This is a traditional Malay kuih (cake) that is rather difficult to find nowadays. I think as it has to be made fresh on the spot.
My good friend been raving about it and since my daughter never tried it before, we decided to head to the one in Haig Road. They are located in a coffeeshop just beside the Haig Road Market. When we got there, there was a long queue, which reminded me of people buying 4D! Lol.

| Putu Piring |
This kuih is made from rice flour that has been roasted with pandan leaves. It is served with desiccated coconut that has been seasoned with a little salt. The Putu Piring is filled with palm sugar. When it is steamed, the rice flour feels soft and slightly powdery. The palm sugar inside melts just to the right texture. The fragrant of the pandan leaves (most times also shredded with the coconut) permeates the air when you unfold the banana leave that serves as a packaging to the Putu Piring. When you sink your teeth in one, it is simply yummy!

The one here is simply delicious. You can have at least 6-9 pcs, no problem. Be prepared for a long queue. It goes for $1 for 3 small pieces. Must try!
