A New Steemed Rice Desert I Have Never Seen Before! Purple Filling?

in food •  6 years ago 

Years of living in Asia and I thought I'd seen most of the wonderful sweets on offer, but no. Yesterday at the market I found this ancient woman selling these hand made packets of goodness.

Tightly wrapped sticky rice in banana leaf. The interesting thing was that there was a purplish paste running through it!

When I cut it open it had a pleasant smell and tasted something like yam although I had difficultly identifying the taste. I will do some research and update my post if I can find out what the purple consisted of.

Cambodia has some wonderful produce, food and people. It's totally worth a visit 😉!

Isn't it purple yam? It does look delicious! ^^

It's a certain type of banana used for cooking ;)
