This food is always my favorite, because it is not complicated to make and of course with ingredients that are very easy to get.
As a mother who holds power in the kitchen is a challenge in itself. Because every day not only think about the main meal menu but also think about a healthy and nutritious snack menu.
This food is familiar to our ears, especially those who live in my area. Yes, Kolak. Kolak itself is a typical Indonesian dessert made from ingredients such as coconut milk, brown sugar, and pandan leaves, which have various fillings. Some make it with banana, sweet potato, corn and sugar palm filling. Kolak has a sweet and savory taste, and a soft texture.
