The ondeh fever is still going strong and since this local flavour is so popular and delicious, the coconut filling, which is a common ingredients used and given how versatile it is, it is a useful sweets to have in the fridge. I use this in cakes, puddings and even tried them in tarts. Here’s the simple recipe.
