________________________________________________________

Pulut Serunding dinamakan apabila ianya dihidang dengan meletakkan serunding di atas pulut, tetapi apabila pulut ini dibalut dengan daun pisang dan diletakkan inti dan dipanggang pulut ini dinamakan PULUT PANGGANG atau PULUT UDANG. Menariknya kedua-dua menggunakan bahan yang sama cuma methodny sahaja berlainan. Apapun memang sedap dan tak mudah jemu.
