Thank you so much for the simple and wonderful recipe! My daughter and I enjoyed making and eating them!
Thanks for trying and I am glad you and your daughter had enjoyed making it. 🙂
How many pcs does this recipe make?
Depends on how much dough you use per onde-onde, but for a regular bite sized one, about 30 pieces.
These came out great! Managed to get Pandan (froze them), glutinous rice flour and gula melaka from KL back to Switzerland as they don’t stock it where I am! Was easier to make then I initially thought. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Lis! Glad it worked for you. I too am living in Switzerland! If you are new here, you can get fresh pandan leaves and glutinous rice flour at most Asian (chinese) stores.
Thank you so much for the recipe. How do u get the filling to melt?
Thanks for checking it out! It melts when you boil it.
Thank you. I miss eating these and I cant wait to make them. One of my favorites.
Thank you for sharing the recipe! It was a success!
Awesome thanks for sharing the authentic Malaysian recipes would definitely try it
So glad I found this recipe. Missing my childhood snack…I also live in Basel!
Anyway, just one question, can you make it until the last step before boiling them then just keep it in the freezer? So I can just make big batch then eat it whenever I want to.
Thanks 😊
