Description
In English
Jaja bendu is made from sticky rice, grated coconut, and Balinese sugar. Glutinous flour is the basic ingredient to make the skin layer. While grated coconut and Balinese sugar are cooked into unti (grated coconut mixed with liquid sugar), then it’s used as the contents of the cake. It’s easy to make it. Glutinous rice flour is mixed with grated coconut. At the same time, boil water with hibiscus leaves. After that, add the boiled water and salt sufficiently to the mixture, and roast it using a pan. When the skin is finished, fill it with unti, shape it (usually cylindrical roll or triangle), then wrap it in banana leaf.
Jaja Bendu resembles a lupis cake. The difference is, if lupis cake is poured with brown sugar souce and coconut, on the other hand, jaja bendu is filled with brown sugar and coconut. Fo those who love sweets, of course this snack could be your favourite.
Jaja Bendu can be categorized as street food snacks. It can be found in many street markets. Although it’s a snack from Jembrana, you can find it easily in every district. Anyway, if you buy or make Jaja Bendu, it should be consumed immediately because this food can only last a day. Do you want to try one? You should definitely enjoy the snack with bitter coffee. It will taste better!In Balinese
