Putu Piring



Am I turning this blog into a dessert adventure? I must admit that the aim of these pages is to talk about anything but work. The highlight of the day definitely was the pleasure to finally taste those famous Putu Piring. I had been seeing permanent long queues in front of this stall at Banquet beside Haig Road hawker centre and was wondering what these sweets looking like indian idlis were. The area is the place of choice for everything Malay. Putu Pirings are delicate steamed rice flour cakes with a gula melaka center (brown sugar). They also have a sweet scent of pandan leaves. I now understand why people are ready to queue for hours for the privilege.
