What is Putu Mayong
Putu Mayong, also written putu mayom, is Indian-style steam rice vermicelli cake served with grated coconut and sugar. In appearance, it is similar to roti jala, except that the latter is yellow in colour while putu mayong is snow white. Some vendors create a green version of the putu mayong by adding pandan to the batter. A wooden implement with tiny holes in it is used to squeeze the batter to form the tiny threads and cools and solidify. The vermicelli-like threads are then placed in a wicker tray and steamed.
Putu mayong is usually sold with grated coconut and sugar, either white or brown sugar. Some times palm sugar (gula melaka) is also provided.
