Do you like bittergourd? I loooovveeee bittergourd, stir-fried, super spicy and served with warm rice, I’d be the happiest girl. It’s really not that hard to please me ?… when it comes to food.
The following traditional cake is called Kue Pepare, which translated as bittergourd cakelettes. Don’t worry, they are sweet and salty, not bitter at all ?
Some people could color and shape the cakelettes totally looking like bitter gourd. Mine? They are Hulk’s fingers instead, again, my 4 yo’s mind, ladies and gentlemen, that’s what he said ???? Every time I make something green, he always associates it with The Hulk ????
This cake is from Banjarmasin in South Borneo and is normally served with tai lala, which is cream made of coconut milk, and this is for Day 17 of my #promo-indonesia through 30 Days of Indonesia food series ?
You can check for the previous days right after the Indonesian translation below, btw

Hai teman!
Untuk hari ke 17 bulan Ramadhan, aku berbuka dengan Kue Pepare, yang berasal dari Kalimantan Selatan.
Disebut Pepare karena bentuknya seperti sayur Pare/paria, tau kan?
Di Kalimantan, kami menyajikannya dengan tai lala, yaitu krim kental dari santan yang direbus hingga berminyak
Jadi kue ini manis dan gurih
Nih resepnya kalau tertarik ?

1 kaleng santan siap pakai (400 ml)
garam sejumput
