Putu Piring Melaka @Tengkera (Malacca) (Halal)

Sebaik saja kami tiba di Jalan Tengkera @Melaka ternampak orang ramai beratur panjang untuk membeli snek Putu piring popular ini.

Ramuan untuk membuat Putu piring tersebut adalah amat ringkas iaitu beras, gula Melaka dan kelapa parut yang halus. Putu piring biasanya akan di kukus untuk beberapa minit dan kemudiannya dialas dengan sekeping daun pisang dan dihidangkan semasa ia masih panas dan anda akan dapat merasakan kelembutan isinya sama sekali dengan keenakkan gula Melaka yang cukup menyelerakan.

Both sides of the narrow road was filled with parked cars and the easiest way to spot the shop selling these delicious snacks would be the long queue that meanders along the walkway of the 4D nombor ekor shop Toto next to it.

The putu piring is made of 3 simple ingredients rice, gula Melaka (Palm sugar) & grated coconut. And it is steamed in a matter of minutes then placed on a piece of banana leaf and served hot.



Tourists making a pit stop to try out the authentic Putu Piring Melaka and when asked how it tasted they said it is very fragrant, soft and not too sweet.

It firstly shaped into a dish on top of a stainless steel funnel and then covered with a piece of cloth before being placed on the steamer for about a few minutes and voila! Best served while still hot!

The putu piring being packed to be taken away and should you choose to eat it the following day for breakfast then it is best to put it into containers with holes for ventilation to keep it soft and fluffy until the next morning.



It is best eaten fresh from the steamer as the generous filling of gula Melaka would melt in your mouth and same time you can also smell the fragrant of the steamed rice.

Foto ini diambil pada Julai 2014 dan pada masa tu mereka memberi tag nombor kepada pelanggannya untuk menunggu giliran order tetapi cara ini telah diganti dengan cara beratur pada hari ini. Dan pada masa tu harganya cuma Singgit tetapi hari ini ia dijual pada Rm1.20 sekeping
