Although the direct translation from Bubur Biji Salak is Snake Fruit's Seed Porridge but this porridge isn't made from the real seed of Snake Fruit ;)
Bubur Sum Sum is known as the Indonesian Rice Pudding; made from rice flour, coconut milk, salt and pandan leaves.
It's Rp. 3.000 per cup
People usually will eat the Bubur Biji Salak together with Bubur Sum Sum.
What a beautiful combination! I can imagine the rich texture from the various flour mixed with santan and the gula jawa. Kind of like the Malaysian version of soya bean milk mix with cincau.
ReplyDeleteworldwindows: Wow.. I've never seen the soya bean mix with cincau, it must be unique. Is the cincau black or green? Here in Indonesia, we have 2 kind of cincau, the black cincau is the grass jelly (like the chinese one) and the green cincau is made from leaves.
ReplyDeleteinteresting, Selba!
ReplyDeletethanks alot for sharing Indon desserts with us. if i ever make my way to Jakarta, or Bandung, I know where to search ffor good food! :)

ReplyDeleteFyi, the cincau worldwindows meant is black in colour. The used to call this drink Michael Jackson (Black and White)

ReplyDeleteprecious pea: Hahaha.. so funny, a drink called Michael Jackson coz' of the colors.
Interesting desserts! Snake fruit is something new to me.
ReplyDeletepigpigscorner: hello... welcome to my blog :)
ReplyDeleteSalak or Snake Fruit is a native fruit to Indonesia and Malaysia. It tasted kinda crunchy like apple but not really juicy. The famous salak are from Yogyakarta and Bali. If you have a chance to visit Indonesia, you gotta try it ;)
biji salak can eat too.....
ReplyDelete**looking in big eyes**
amazing........
at here we throw away salak seeds....
errr.... selba
ReplyDeletecincau we at Malaysia also called
grass jelly and its black in colour
Yum. LOoks rich and delicious.
ReplyDeletepisang goreng: Hahaha.. it's not the real seed of salak!
ReplyDeleteDo you also have the green cincau like we have here in Indonesia?
pam: It is rich indeed ;)It's because of the brown sugar sauce and coconut milk.
Mmmmm I would try both. I like sago especially, more than tapioca.
ReplyDeleteolivia: If you like sago, then you probably will like the sago pearls, just wait... I will post it soon ;)
ReplyDeletehere, sum sum is bone marrow. so, you can imagine my surprise when i read buah salak and sum sum together!
ReplyDeletea very interesting dessert, this! ;)
Sum sum is the "tau foo fa" in Malaysia? Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteSelba, shall we exchange link? I jsut added you as my blog list. :)
ReplyDeletenic: LOL
ReplyDeleteBone marrow is also sumsum in bahasa indonesia :D
bits of life n taste: No.. it's not "tau fu fa" (you meant the tofu flower eaten with brown sugar and ginger sauce, right?)
Bubur sum sum is made from flour rice, coconut milk and salt.
little inbox: Sure! I already added yours in my blog list :D
It is so confused that they called it bubur biji salak but used other ingredients to make the bubur. Any particular reason? I am new to this dish. Sounds fusion to me. Hehehe!
ReplyDeletefood for tots: For sure, we can not eat any biji salak, even if you boiled it, still to hard for your teeth, hehehe...
ReplyDeleteI think the reason why they called it as Bubur Biji Salak because of the balls and color looked like biji salak :)
selba
ReplyDeletewe called it tou fu fa
you called it bunga kembang
similair to soy pudding eat with syrup.
pisang goreng: The bubur sum sum is completely different than tau fu fa/kembang tahu.
ReplyDeleteI'd posted about tau fu fa/kembang tahu, you can check it out here:
