Bubur Ketan Hitam Recipe (Black Glutinous Rice Pudding) and Indonesia Eats on Very Asia.com

Windy and cold weather is here now. I am not ready yet for winter since we had a really short summer in Manitoba this year. Also, it was said that Manitoba has a chance to have more rains than any other provinces in Canada. This bubur ketan hitam is perfect for cold days.

October the 25th, the Indonesian students group of Winnipeg presents an event “Indonesian Exotic Cultural Afternoon: Explore Indonesian Street Vendors”. In this event, we will have similar things to the Indonesian Food Festival 2009. However, we won’t serve a big meal, we will serve savory and sweet snacks just like the street vendors in Indonesia. This event is also tribute to Sumatra’s earthquake that was just happened about a week ago.

Do you still remember about the Indonesian Food Festival 2009 in Winnipeg where my food pictures were featured on the Winnipeg Free Press? You may remember my nasi uduk’s picture and recipe. Those also have been featured on veryasia.com. A great website if you love online-shopping, especially Asian stuffs.
