Rondho/Rondo Royal or Monyos is one of the typical Jepara traditional snack made of rice flour filled with TAPE and cooked, especially if presented still warm taste it'll be more delicious. A blend of sweet and sour taste of the TAPE and the saltiness of rice flour is very pronounced in this rondho royal, also crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside give nice texture while enjoying it. In the cooking process, the TAPE that is in use is cassava instead of sticky tape.

It remains unclear origin of the name of the royal rondo, but if we observe from the rondho royal word we can slightly understand the meaning. RONDHO in the Java language can be interpreted widow, and ROYAL can be interpreted luxury. So that could mean "luxury widow". Maybe once the food is found by a luxurious widow so called Rondho Royal.

But in the Java language, said RONDO can be taken from the word "rodo^ / rada^" or "mondo" which means "almost/slightly resembles”. So Rondo Royal can be interpreted "little luxury". Maybe once, this food is a food that is luxurious for the people --- first Dutch era, many snacks that may not be affordable for people to make (such Bitterballen, Croquete, Poffertjes, Oliebollen and others).

The name is still a mystery, and it remains unclear origins, but the name is exactly the uniqueness in traditional food of this one that makes people’s become curious when heard it and wanted to try a bite. In Jepara southern part, these foods are also often called "MONYOS", but in other areas there is also a call "FRIED TAPE".
Way of making this recipe is very easy and can be practiced with the children at home, and for the following ingredients I could make as much as 20 dots dough.
