Onde-Onde is one of the traditional kuih in Malaysia (or pastries). They are either made from sweet potato or glutinous rice flour.
The cute little ondeh-obdeh are infused with pandan (screwpine leaf) juice and filled with “Gula Melaka” or palm sugar and then rolled in with some fresh grated coconut. The palm sugar that’s in it literally bursts in your mouth when you take a bite
