Putu (steamed cakes)

It''s not wanna tell about Balinese name. But talk about snack. Kue putu or putu bambu is a traditional cylindrical-shaped and green coloured steamed cakes. It's origin from Indonesia. The cake is made of rice powder then coloured green with extract acquired from pandan leaves and sujji leaves. Pandan leaves give nice aroma as likes vanilli. Then sujji leaves for green amazing colour. Filled with palm sugar and steamed in bambu tubes, hence its name, and served with grated coconuts. This traditional bite-size snack is commonly found in maritime south east Asia.  particularly in Java, Indonesia, where the cake is called putu bumbung. Kue putu can also be found in the Netherlands due to its colonial ties with the Dutch East India with Indonesia.
 Rasanya manis (the taste is sweet).. Sweet.. because inside of rice grated is palm sugar. It's steam.. and nice served while warm. In rain season it's kind as snack that can makes you droll.... Just smell the fragrance. It's called "putu" (*poo_too) :p a one of traditional Indonesian snack. Simple snack.. but it's also as village whenever It tasted in my mouth. Haha but really nice.
We can made it own at home. But it's also sell with a man who picking up the or carry on the shoulder of the cart. Kind of cart street hawker. I mean it's Indonesian style. But also seems a lot then it sell on cafe or online homemade. :) It's called "putu" coz when it sell by cart which carry on the shoulder is having out sounds as tuuuuuuut.. as whistle with unstopped sounds. 
But I also heard if it's from abbreviations of "Pedagang Umum Tenaga Uap" Haha even myself thought that's just jokes :P
