COOKING FOR THE SOUL

Ondeh Ondeh

Recipe by

Ondeh Ondeh is a popular Malay sweet snacks that is made using glutinous rice flour infused with pandan flavouring and coated in grated coconut. The tiny balls make it very addicitive to keep eating them without realising the calories. You might find some of the Ondeh Ondeh is orange in color instead of the usual green ones we find outside. That is made using only sweet potatoes hence the orange appearance. You can choose to add sweet potatoes to the green pandan balls to give it a softer texture.

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
