A Delightful Taste of Tradition at Putu Piring Melaka

After years of craving an authentic Melakan Putu Piring experience, I finally visited this beloved family-run gem—and it did not disappoint! Nestled in the outskirt of Melaka, this humble stall delivers a nostalgic and mouthwatering treat that lives up to its reputation. Generous with their Gula Melaka: The star of the show here is the gula Melaka (palm sugar). Each bite of the soft, steamed rice cake reveals a molten core of rich, caramel-like sweetness that’s perfectly balanced—never cloying. The family doesn’t skimp on portions, ensuring every piece is packed with that iconic, velvety palm sugar goodness. Fragrant Pandan Perfection: The pandan leaves woven into the packaging aren’t just for show. Their subtle, floral aroma infuses the Putu Piring, elevating the entire experience. It’s a small detail that speaks volumes about the care put into preserving tradition. Fresh, Textural Bliss: The grated coconut flakes are a standout—fresh, slightly salty, and delightfully fluffy. They add a satisfying contrast to the soft, warm rice cake and gooey *gula Melaka*, creating a harmony of textures and flavors. Warm, Family-Run Charm: The shop’s no-frills setup and warm service make it feel like a hidden treasure. Watching the family craft each Putu Piring with practiced hands adds to the charm, reminding you that this is a recipe perfected over generations. Verdict: If you’re in Melaka, this spot is a must-visit. It’s a delicious homage to tradition, executed with pride and precision. The wait to try it was worth every second—I’ll be dreaming about that Gula Melaka until my next visit! #summervacay #localfood #malaysiatrip #malaysia #melaka #malacca #malaccatrip
