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

Debbie Guzzi April 3, 2010 at 4:38 AM 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

Doris Culverhouse March 29, 2010 at 6:34 AM enjoyed--sounds sort of like rice crispy snacks. It takes alot of muscle to stir them.
