Kue rangi is a Betawi snack (Betawi is addressed for the descendants people who live in Batavia - the old colonial name for Jakarta).
The small tin pan to make Kue Rangi.
The ingredients are so simple. It's only made from grated old coconut, sago (powdery starch from certain sago palms) and salt.
The way of making Kue Rangi.
The heating process on the tin pan is about less than 5 minutes.
The heating process on the tin pan is about less than 5 minutes.
A special paper plate made for the Kue Rangi.
Then, pour the aren sugar sauce (gula aren) on the top.
The Aren sugar sauce is actually palm sugar. It has a sweet and nice aroma because this palm sugar is made from sweet liquid that comes out from a specific palm flower.
Crunchy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside with rich plus sweet taste and smell, that's the best description I can give about this authentic snack :)
One plate is only Rp. 6.000 (about 50 cents US)
nice job selba !!!
ReplyDeletei saw b4 here..but never how it make..
look so cool ^^
faye fly: uhmmm... where did you see it? here as in this blog or here at your place? me getting confused! hehehe...
ReplyDeleteSounds so simple and delicious! Am I seeing the guy take out the tukang kue rangi with his bare hands? That is amazing! I don't have the courage to do that.
ReplyDeleteThis one in Malaysia pasar malam also got. It has other name which sold by Malay seller.
ReplyDeleteETE: Oh.. no, he doesn't use his bare hands, instead he uses toothpick :)
ReplyDeleteemail2me: Are you sure, it's the same? Not the pukis cake? Because kue rangi is an authentic Batavian snack, I've even never seen it outside Jakarta, even to find it in Jakarta is quite difficult.
Where did u find this guy ?
ReplyDeleteI just love Kue Rangi..... :D
It's kinda hard to look for a Kue Rangi seller nowadays.... :(
I couldn't find one when I was at Pasar Baru.
I had one at Kafe Betawi for Rp. 16.000 and it wasn't as good.... a bit too hard and too chewy. I'll post the pic of the one I had and link to your post here :)
PS. I linked to your blog at my Link section :)
I just love all the photo details on your blog.
