Klepon (Traditional Indonesian Kue)
Klepon is one of market munchies, famous in Indonesia and neighboring countries (Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei). When I was growing up, some also call this onde-onde, even though most people living in Java island would associate onde-onde with another type of snack/dessert. Taste-wise, it is like mochi, with liquid palm sugar inside. Needless to say, you have to be careful when eating klepon since you can stain your clothes if you squirt the palm sugar. I cut the palm sugar carefully so not all will melt inside the klepon. If you want a more authentic taste, boil the klepon 2-3 minutes more after it floats to have a liquid filling.
This recipe yields 15-20 klepons, depending on how big/small you form the balls. There are some leftover palm sugar from this recipe, so I used it for my coffee. Yumyum!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix grated coconut with salt and sugar and pandan leaves. Steam for about ten minutes. Remove the leaves. Set to cool.
- 2
Combine glutinous rice flour, rice flour, water, and pandan paste. Knead until you can easily form balls with it. If it is too sticky, add more rice flour, if too solid, add more water.
- 3
Boil water in a pan. Carefully form a ball and then flatten it. Add the palm sugar inside. Seal it and make sure there are no leaks. Immediately put it in the pan of boiling water. If you make the balls in advance before putting them in boiling water, leaks might occur, so make the balls and plunge them in water as soon as they are ready.
- 4
When they are floating, scoop them and roll them in the coconut mixture. If you want a liquid filling, wait 2-3 minutes more after they are floating.

When they have cooled, enjoy!

Kue Koci Kue Koci
It is traditional Indonesian snack, steamed glutinous rice flour with sweet grated coconut filling wrapped in banana leaves.Sweet grated coconut is made from fresh young grated coconut, some water and palm sugar, cook it over low heat, stirring often until the liquid is almost evaporated, and continue cooking until there is no liquid left. Remove from the heat and let the mixture set until it is cool enough to handle.The original kue is made from white glutinous rice flour with coconut milk. But I like to add my kue koci with black glutinous rice (soak the rice over night and blend it smoothly with some coconut milk) or steamed and mashed pumpkin or sweet potato or yam.

Indonesian Dessert: Kolak Indonesian Dessert: Kolak
I learned this from my Balinese father.You can use canned, powdered, or fresh coconut milk depending on what's available to you. If it's too rich in Step 3, you can add water, but if it's too thin, simmer a bit more. Indonesians usually add some chopped bananas as well. Recipe by Mama fio

Three Layers Cake (Kue Lapis Surabaya) Three Layers Cake (Kue Lapis Surabaya)
In my country, Three Layers Cake is called Lapis Surabaya. I am not sure why it’s called like that, but this cake is very famous in Indonesia besides the thousand layers cake (Lapis Legit). Honestly I liked both. But personally I don’t like to bake the thousand layers cake because it takes a lot of time and it’s very tedious. So, if I have to choose, I would rather bake the three layers cake. But both cakes are notorious for the amount of egg yolks needed. For people who have a cholesterol issues, just be aware not to consume too much of this cake. Once awhile it’s okay, but don’t too much.I am not really fan of dessert, but sometimes I do feel cravings for this delicious cake.The texture of this cake, is moist and soft. It’s so delicious. So who could resist this delicate cake even though we know it contains too much egg yolks? But as I says, “once awhile it’s okay”. 😄Do you wanna try? Here’s the recipe.
