After dinner, mum wanted something sweet, so we headed to the dessert stall to buy hot desserts. Mum had the Pulut Hitam (黑糯米) or Bubur Pulut Hitam where pulut hitam, means Black Glutinous Rice 🌾, while bubur means porridge in Indonesian and Malay. It is sweetened with palm or cane sugar and eaten together with coconut milk. 🥥
