What is it?
Putu Piring is a local Malay delicacy believed to have its roots coming all the way from South Asia. (This probably explains why it is so difficult to find in this part of the world!)
Traditionally cottony white in appearance, this spongy yet soft rice cake is served with a generous filling of "gula melaka" (palm sugar). The taste is "luscious, giddying and sinful" when melting hot, especially when taken with the lightly salted grated coconut toppings. The complimenting sweet aroma of the pandan leaves also never fails to keep our customers coming back for more.
A perfect set of putu piring will be ready only after about five minutes, so, be warned that you may have to wait an average of 15-20 minutes during peak periods to have your orders prepared.
But patience has a nack of being rewarded, so like all good things, this one is worth the wait.
