Wadai Kararaban

30 Days of Indonesia #18

For day 18 yesterday, I broke my fast with these goodies, called Wadai Kararaban, made of rice flour, coconut milk, and coconut palm sugar, soooo good, I kid you not.

This cake is famous in East and South Borneo and one of my favorites. Every Ramadhan, whenever my father or sister was out to buy some jajan pasar, traditional sweets to break our fast, I secretly wished there would always be this cake ?

Borneo natives are not just Dayak tribes but also Malay tribes, so I won’t be surprised if those in Sumatra, Malaysia, and Singapore has similar cake as wadai kararaban, even us in Borneo, we have tons of others cakes that are super similar to wadai kararaban, such as amparan tatak, nangka susun and various of sarimuka desserts.

Anyhoo!

I got the idea to prepare myself since my sister posted about it, so ta-daaaaa I came up with my own ?

Yuummmoo ?? That’s what my oldest said as he finished his 5th piece ?

Sudah pernah dengar Kue Kararaban? Terkadang juga ditulis Kraraban. Mungkin yang orang Melayu akan tau kue ini, dengan nama yang sama ataupun berbeda, baik Melayu di Indonesia ataupun Malaysia dan Singapura.

Ini kue khas Kalimantan Timur dan Selatan, kuenya suku Banjar, rasanya legit sekali.

Ini salah satu kue kesukaanku setiap Ramadhan. Teksturnya mirip ketan srikaya (bagian srikaya-nya).

Hari ini aku puasa hanya 1/2 hari ? Jadi untuk nanti malam aku bakalan ga masuk dapur nih, tapi akan aku tetap usahakan untuk menerusan #promo-indonesia ini sampai hari ke 29/30 ?
