While enjoying coffee and klepon alone brings me together with my family, klepon is a typical Indonesian snack that is sold in traditional markets. My mother often buys us when we go to the market. Moreover, this is my favorite food, which is made of sweet potato, which is then mixed with glutinous rice flour, and filled with brown sugar. My Dad also like this food. He always enjoys it with a cup of black coffee in the morning.
In Taiwan, it's not easy to get klepon, only Toko Indonesia sells it. And I can't go out every day to buy this food. Because I only found it when I visited Taipei city. So the alternative that I do is make my own and I am happy can make it 💓😄
