After making Abok Abok Sago, I still have some white grated coconut left. Since I do not want to waste them, I also made a small portion of Ondeh Ondeh with pumpkin on the same day. The original Ondeh Ondeh is actually green in colour which made with pandan juice. This is also one of my childhood favourite sweet snacks (not sure they are from the Malay or Peranakan origin). I just love to pop the whole Ondeh Ondeh into my mouth and get the explosive feel of melted gula melaka …. mmm… so yummy!!

Instructions

- Pinch dough into small ball (about 10g), slightly press flat and fill with gula melaka and roll into smooth ball again.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop the little dough balls into it.
- When they float to the surface and let it boil for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove them with a slotted spoon and shake off excess water.
- Roll the cooked glutinous balls over the white grated coconut.
- I like to serve them warm.
