I have sweet tooth and love all kind of dessert. Instead of being away from my home country for 10 years, I am still missing the "Kuih Muih" in Malaysia. Unfortunately, not all kuih muih are available in NZ. To satisfy my craving on those delicious food, I have to look for the recipe and make by myself. In fact, this is a good opportunity to sharpen my cooking skills.

I made "Onde Onde" last weekend. This was my 3rd time to made this "Kuih". As I remembered, they were not sweet enough when I made them in the first time. Obviously, I had not inserted enough palm sugar into the glutinous balls. For second time, I made them when mum and dad came to visit. However, they were still not tasted good. Finally, I found that I forgot to mix the desiccated coconut with some salt. After learning all the lessons, I tried to made the "Onde Onde" as perfect as I could this time.

I had read a few "Onde Onde" recipes in the internet. I have realised that fresh grated coconut is recommended in order to achieve the best result. Unfortunately, it is hard to find the fresh coconut in NZ. So I replaced the ready packed desiccated coconut from supermarket. Apart from that,t I could get all the other ingredients easily from Chinese Grocery. In fact, the steps were also easy to be followed. Here's the link where I got the recipe.

Overall, I was happy with the result this time. The taste was improved. I was enjoyed every bite especially when they exploded the sweet syrup from the centre.
