Putu piring (original) (raw)

Putu piring is a round-shaped, traditional steamed rice flour kue or sweet snack filled with palm sugar. It is found in Singapore, Malaysia, and Southern Thailand under various names. It is usually made using stainless steel molds with a distinctive flower shape. The Singaporean kuih tutu tend to be thicker and rounder, while putu piring from Malaysia and Southern Thailand tend to be flatter with a disc-like shape. Its composition is quite similar to the cylindrical putu bambu, which are steamed using bamboo tube containers instead.
