📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Klepon are bright green traditional Indonesian rice cakes. A dough of glutinous rice flour colored and scented with pandan is wrapped around palm sugar (gula melaka), boiled, and rolled in grated coconut. Bite into one and hot palm sugar syrup bursts out — a delightful surprise and an Indonesian favorite.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a market stall, green klepon are piled high, and the first bite releases a rush of syrup.
