Talam Ketan Pink

I've been wanting to make this traditional dessert 2 weeks ago, but I was in lazy mood :p and just shoot it out last weekend hehehe..... Why the "Kue Talam" is pink? :p Cuz my maid couldn't found the "Suji" leaf and instead I use few drops of red food colouring hehehe... That's the story of my "Kue Talam Pink".


Unfortunately, I didn't succeed :( hiks hiks hiks... Still haven't figure it out why it turned out a bit hard, it's supposed to be soft close to a pudding, especially the pink layer (is it b'cuz of the pink drops? :( maybe someone can tell me what did I do wrong ...helppp... hiks hiks hiks). But... I'll try this traditional dessert again in the future, Jia You...Eppie!! :)
