释义

名词

一种糕点，覆盖着新鲜椰丝，以融化的椰糖为馅的绿色糯米球，口感软糯，甜香可口。

DEFINITION

Noun

A green glutinous rice ball covered with freshly shredded coconut and filled with melted gula melaka. It is soft, chewy, sweet, and fragrant.

由来
  • 椰丝糯米糍的英文名 “ondeh-ondeh” 源自于马来语的 ondeh-ondeh (也拼写为 onde-onde 或 oneh-oneh)，在马来西亚又被称为 buah melaka。
  • 有一种说法认为椰丝糯米糍源于马来或娘惹文化，但也有另一种说法称它源自印度尼西亚一种名叫 klepon 的传统甜点。
  • 制作椰丝糯米磁，需先将糯米粉和木薯粉混合，加入班兰将其染绿。之后，加入糖水并揉搓成面团，再将面团分成小团，把椰糖碎包入其中。接着，把小面团搓成球状放入沸水中，煮到它们浮上水面，而椰糖碎会在煮的过程中融化。最后，将煮好的糯米球捞出，沾上之前准备好的椰丝即可。
  • 2009年，新加坡邮政 (SingPost) 推出的一套 “本地甜点” 邮票中就印有椰丝糯米糍。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The name “ondeh-ondeh” originates from the Malay term ondeh-ondeh (also spelled as onde-onde or oneh-oneh). Ondeh-ondeh are also known as buah melaka in Malaysia.
  • One belief is that ondeh-ondeh originated from Malay or nyonya culture, but there is also a belief that it originated from a traditional Indonesian dessert called klepon.
  • Ondeh-ondeh are made using a dough of glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour coloured green with pandan and sweetened with sugar. The dough is formed into bite-size balls, each encasing a filling of small gula melaka pieces that melt during the cooking process. The balls are boiled until they float, then scooped out and rolled in steamed grated coconut.
  • In 2009, SingPost launched a set of stamps celebrating local desserts, with ondeh-ondeh featured among them.
