An onde-onde conversion

The other day I had Nestlé’s onde-onde ice-cream during the Hari Raya celebration at the office.

Here’s what it looks like:

The package says that it is a pandan-flavoured confectionery with a gula melaka and coconut filling.

My ice-cream unfortunately seemed to have melted and re-frozen… it was out of shape and when I opened it, there was gula melaka syrup outside the ice-cream. However there was still filling inside the ice-cream, so it seems it was not that badly melted. The pandan taste was not very strong, and this is the “frozen” kind of ice-cream instead of the “creamy” kind, but I liked the gula melaka coconut filling. (I don’t know when I have ever disliked gula melaka :P )

It’s a little funny to note that while actual onde-onde has gula melaka syrup inside, and coconut flakes outside, when converted to ice-cream, coconut flakes can’t remain outside and therefore are relegated inside the pandan part! Haha…
