Putu piring

Putu piring (Jawi: ڤوتو ڤيريڠ‎) is a round-shaped steamed rice flour kueh (dessert) or sweet snack filled with palm sugar popular in Singapore.

Commonly associated with Singaporean cuisine, it is usually made using stainless steel molds with a distinctive flower shape.

Its composition can be compared to the cylindrical putu bambu that is eaten in Indonesia, which are steamed using bamboo tube containers instead and are of a different colour.

It also leans towards more of a Singaporean Chinese dessert, having been created by Tan Eng Huat, who first sold it in Singapore during the 1930s at Bukit Pasoh Road.
