Kuih ondeh ondeh is a well known, favourite childhood dessert to many people all around. Using purple sweet potatoes and pumpkin gives a colourful look to this wonderful desert.
Chewy glutinous rice balls with melted gula melaka in the middle, which are then coated in desiccated coconut. When my family bite into this it puts a smile on their faces.
