PULUT INTI

Pulut Inti 

is glutinous rice topped with caramelised grated coconut flesh and wrapped in a cut banana leaf to resemble a square pyramid. It is best served during breakfast. Popular among the Malays and Nyonya. I did this for my "buka puasa" menu. Just in case if my next door sent me something I got something to return back to her. Anyway I like this pulut, creamy and sweet.

Pulut Inti ini biasanya menjadi favorite orang-orang lama. Sedap dimakan diwaktu pagi. Saya jarang membuatnya. Kerana kurang diminati oleh anak-anak, kalau saya berhajat, saya beli aje diluar. Pulut ini memang sedap, lemak dan manis. Intinya kalau lebih boleh digunakan untuk membuat kuih dadar. So kalau nak buat inti biar lebih tak apa.
