Ketupat pulut (glutinous rice cakes), usually served with rendang and/or serunding.

Ketupat pulut originates in the northern states of Malaysia. Ketupat pulut is par–cooked glutinous rice in coconut milk, wrapped with palm leaves in a triangular shape & then boiled. The texture is sticky. Some would add groundnuts for extra bite & flavour or use black glutinous rice.

Rendang is spicy chicken or beef curry cooked with shallots, onions, chillies, lemongrass, galangal & coconut milk.

Serunding is spicy chicken/beef/fish floss fried with shallots, chillies, spices & grated coconut.
