Ross WSApril 2, 2019Once a popular street snack in the 70s and 80s, putu piring is now far less common. Perfect molten palm sugar filling, should be eaten pipping hot. Queues long so grab a milo dinosaur from nearbyUpvote3Downvote
TingNovember 10, 2015This Malay rendition of Kueh tutu has a less dense outer white 'shell' which melts-in-your-hand! Nonetheless, the Gula Melaka (palm sugar) centre is thick and fragrant. Best eaten when piping hot.

Torzin SNovember 24, 2015One of the most flavorful putu piring in Singapore, the sweetness of caramelized sugar is top notch, the texture and pandan are really good.

Putu Piring is amazing. This is the Malay version using gula malaka and coconut made by a Malay family.
