Kuih Auntie and Uncle : Pulut Panggang

There's a coffee shop at the Miri Centrepoint Commercial Centre at Jalan Melayu called Tham's Cafe. It is a corner shop, the same block where K.K Book Centre is located.

After 3.00 p.m. on weekdays, a middle-aged couple will set up their kuih stall outside the cafe to sell their kuihs. And so far, I think their kuihs are among the tastier ones in Miri.

Mr. and Mrs. Lim sell a special item on each day of the week. On Mondays, it's the Pulut Panggang. For the uninitiated, Pulut Panggang is grilled glutinous rice rolls with spicy grated coconut filling wrapped in banana leaves.



The glutinous rice is soft, with a faint hint of smokiness. Keep it in the fridge and pop it into the microwave the next day and it is still just as soft.

Mrs. Lim is generous with the spicy grated coconut filling too. Here's a Pulut Panggang pried open by my hungry fingers.



Mrs. Lim makes all the kuihs herself, and by the taste of the kuihs, you know that she has put all her heart and soul into it.

The Pulut Panggang will set you back by RM1.00 each.

The next time you are at Miri Centrepoint Commercial Centre, do drop by her stall. But you'd better be early, cos her goodies sell out really fast.
