Ugh. I ate a lot of onde-onde today. I'm so not going to make it in few weeks or even months. I managed to get the texture right but not the 'bursting' effect when you put a piece into your mouth. That is the frustrating part. I even got the right amount of gula melaka [palm sugar] to insert into the onde-onde. The texture is much better than the first batch because I used Japanese sweet potato. It gives the balls a dull golden colour which is nice because it saved me work in getting green colouring and I don't like using colouring though I could use natural green from pandan leaves, but it would only drives me nuts to exhaust me before I could enjoy my labour fruits. No way.

I made 27 balls to share out with my mother. Each of us is supposed to eat at least 13 balls but I ended up eating 22 balls because my mum's blood test result indicated high cholestrol level when she came back from the clinic. Damn. Luckily, the palm sugar was not that sweet. If not, I would get nausea. And so... there would be a break from making onde-onde. That's a bless in disguise too, I guess. It will make me move on to other recipe: Ma Lai Koe. Oh another yum yum Chinese steamed cake.

So what is onde-onde? Have a look here: Onde-onde - Malaysian Food Guide

Oh, I absolutely love onde onde! Especially when they burst in my mouth and the juice came flowing out! Yummy!! I also dislike colouring and don't mind if the onde onde don't look nice. Who cares? I just want it to taste nice : )

Onde onde eyh...nice I grew up with that kuih though it has become common already still like u mention if the onde onde is done right, when u put it in ur mouth it goes bursting and the sweetness melt through ur throat like pop biscuits in The magic faraway three one of Enid Blytons book. ^^
