A Cup Coffee and Klepon (Indonesian Traditional Snack) Bring Me to My Hometown

Observing the fast of Ramadan in abroad and not gathering with family is very difficult. Because I have to go through My Iftar and break my fast alone. Ussually the moment of breaking the fast will be special if it is celebrated with my beloved family with a variety of menu dishes cooked by mom:).

This is my 11th year, I have Ramadan in Taiwan, there are many impressions that I went through by having to go through worship alone. With a simple menu. However, from all the available menus, I don't forget to brew coffee and enjoy it with traditional food, which I made myself, it called Klepon.

While enjoying coffee and klepon alone brings me together with my family, klepon is a typical Indonesian snack that is sold in traditional markets. My mother often buys us when we go to the market.

Moreover, this is my favorite food, which is made of sweet potato, which is then mixed with glutinous rice flour, and filled with brown sugar. My dad also like this food. He always enjoys it with a cup of black coffee in the morning.

In Taiwan, it's not easy to get klepon, only Toko Indonesia sells it. And I can't go out every day to buy this food. Because I only found it when I visited Taipei city. So the alternative that I do is make my own. I bought the ingredients on holiday from an Indonesian shop.

For coffee, I still use black coffee no sugar. Because this type of coffee has become my favorite since I reduced sugar to start a healthy life. I am one of those people who cannot run out of coffee at home, because I will panic when there is no coffee 😄. So that you always have stock, so whenever you want to brew coffee, you just need to pour hot water.

That's all my story #AboutCoffee☕andKlepon. Thanks for reading and stopping. I am very happy to be able to share my experince life as an Indonesian in Taiwan. See you in the next post. May we all always be given health and prosperity always.
