One
of the famous Malaysian sweet desserts is Bubur Cha-Cha. It is made with boiled
or steamed sweet potatoes and yam in coconut milk, with the aroma of pandan
leaves. A simple homemade Bubur Cha-Cha only requires a few ingredients, which
are affordable and common in Southeast Asian cooking (KUIH KASWI - CHEWY MALAYSIAN DESSERT).
Bubur Cha-Cha has its origins in the Nyonya community, created by the Peranakan Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore, and is part of Nyonya cuisine. Over time, this Nyonya dessert has also become popular as a Chinese-style and Malay dessert, and it remains a staple in Malaysian dessert culture.
