Famous Putu Piring Melaka (Jalan Tengkera)

This trip to Melaka, we introduced putu piring to BabySumoKids. Putu piring is made from rice flour with a gula melaka filling, steamed and then coated in freshly grated coconut.One of the most famous places selling this delicacy in Melaka is called Putu Piring Melaka, located on Jalan Tengkera.

We arrived just after 6pm, so there was no queue at all. There is no signboard outside the shop but they have a small banner inside with the stall's name, opening times and price clearly stated. It's located next to a Sports Toto shop.  A friendly couple operate this stall; the wife steaming the putu piring while the husband does the packing.

We got five pieces of the putu piring, and after we took our first bite, we wished that we had gotten more! During this trip, we tried a couple of places which sold putu piring and the ones here from Putu Piring Melaka certainly trumps the rest.

Eaten hot, it was soft, feathery light in texture with a delicious combination of sweet-salty flavours (sweetness from the gula melaka and saltiness from the freshly grated coconut). So so good!

Operating hours: 6pm to 10pm daily. Closed on Sundays.

Price: RM1.20 each.

Location: Putu Piring Melaka, 252, Jalan Tengkera, 75200 Malacca City (limited street parking available).
