BUBUR MALAYSIA / MALAYSIA SWEET PORRIDGE

I made this for tea yesterday. Reason was the idea suddenly pop out. May be we were talking so much about our 54th year independence and Malaysia day. This sweet treats was my family favorite but my children haven't tasted it yet. Just in conjunction with the Malaysia day and the name of this sweet treat was Bubur Malaysia, I just made one batch of it. By the name of the dessert we can roughly guess that it was the reflection of the multi-racial society in Malaysia. All the colors in this sweet was a

 metaphor representing all the races in Malaysia.  I hope I'm right. 

The sweet treats are just like "bubur cha-cha" but was made of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes were boiled, mashed and roll up as a small marbles, blanched in hot boiling water, drained and further cooked in creamy coconut milk. You can have it hot or chill. I love to chill it overnight.. This scrumptious dessert was great either way. Try this you will definitely love it!!!

Bubur Malaysia, pencuci mulut kegemaran keluarga. Macam bubur cha-cha tetapi dibuat dari keledek, macam biji salak tapi tidak. Mempunyai rasnya tersendiri. Saya paling gemar memakanya apabila didinginkan semalaman, rasa macam ais krim Malaysia pun ada. Nama Bubur Malaysia datangnya mana saya sendiri tidak tahu tetapi kalau dilihat pada warna-warna bubur ini boleh diagak mungkin disebabkan warnanya pelbagai yang seakan menggambarkan masyarakat berbilang kaum di Malaysia...mungkin....jadi bersempena dengan hari Malaysia saya hendak kongsikan dessert favorite keluarga saya...selalunya arwah umi membuatnya dalam bulan Ramadan. Petang ini kalau binggung apa nak buat juadah petang cubalah resipi ini.
