| Buah Melaka |
I like to eat ‘Kuih Buah Melaka’ (also known as Onde-onde) very much. This is one of the traditional kuih in Malaysia. What is ‘Kuih’? Probably best to be described as cakes or pastries in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei. Learn more about ‘Kuih Buah Melaka’. Anyway, if you wish to make just follow the simple steps below.

Why do I like it so much? Not because I'm from Melaka but it is tasty, cheap and easy to make. One day in a month of Ramadhan, I and my friend walked around Pasar Ramadhan in Kuala Lumpur to find food for Iftar. I was a student that time and my economy wasn’t that good. In my pocket I only have just enough. While looking for something to eat we have found ‘Kuih Buah Melaka’. 10 Balls for RM1.00(that time). We bought 50 balls that time, brought back to hostels and shared with other starving friends. Nice, RM5 can make everybody happy. That is one true story.
