  • Tempe Bacem

    I also tried the Tempe Bacem, which had a pleasant sweetness and a slightly tangy, tamarind-like flavour. The portion was a good size as well.

  • Cendol

    For dessert, the Cendol was quite nice—refreshing, flavourful, and notably not overly sweet.

  • Onde-onde

    For onde-onde this is my favourite snack. One bite and the filling just melts and explodes inside your mouth, perfectly mixing with the soft, chewy onde-onde dough and the sweet palm sugar inside.

  • Jus Markisa
