Glutinous Rice Cake

28 March 2010 Glutinous Rice Cake Just perfect to prepare on special occasion Where bonding represents this kind of dessert A tradition that passed through generation Cooking this food is always a pert Experienced to cook a mawkish sticky rice Wherein body language is in rhythm with stirring Endure the hardship of stirring using ladle as a device Each family member in alternately stirring to add a zing Cook sticky rice with the pandan leaves Mixing coconut milk and brown sugar in a hot caldron Stir the mixture of rice and coconut milk until it cleave Share eating a sticky rice cake with the family with blessing the whole year round

such an interesting visit to a culture not my own! It seems all cultures have a sweet "unhealthy" but filling (both of stomach & love) dish, a mainstay of the poorer families. My mom used to eat bread & butter with sugar sprinkled on the butter & bread with a mayonaise and pickle spread on it with no meat on either...and be content, happy...for they had no more to put on the bread...Light & Love

enjoyed--sounds sort of like rice crispy snacks. It takes alot of muscle to stir them.
