Kuih Cincin From Sabah

My friend went on a company trip to Kota Kinabalu over the weekend, and she brought back for me a packet of Kuih Cincin. Translated to English it just means "Ring Cake", though to me, it's more like a snack rather than a cake.

Kuih Cincin is a traditional delicacy in Sabah, and is mainly produced by the Malay community. It is made of red palm sugar, rice flour and water. The ingredients are mixed into a dough, shaped and the coated with a rice flour batter before being deep-fried. It's deep-fried twice, in fact.

It is widely sold in Sabah and anyone who visits will invariably bring back some,

That's what it looks like inside ...

Well, I opened up the package and started munching on the crunchy snacks. Though deep-fried, they weren't the least bit greasy. They were not too sweet either, and I suppose that's why it's rather popular among Sabahans as a tea-time snack.

Anyway, thanks to A**** for the sweet treat.
