30 Days of Indonesia #22 – Pai Susu

Crazy how time flies!

If you are new to my page, welcome!

I am doing #promo-indonesia through my 30 Days of Indonesia series, showcasing traditional sweets/desserts/snacks that are known as jajan pasar, for 29/30 days. Why, you asked? Well apart that my name is thekitchenfairy, I blog mostly about food ?, but it is also Ramadhan -fasting month, which the majority of Indonesia are doing it, since many of them are Moslems. So, when they break their fast (dusk time), they treat themselves with sweets, and each day I share different sample(s) of those sweets.

Today is Day 22!

It seems only the other week I started this series, but we are on Day 22 already!

See, crazy how time flies ?

Today I baked two pies, but the other one isn’t Indonesian, and I will be posting for that one sometime tomorrow. Right now, I’d like to share you this famous pie from Bali (and also from Irian Jaya), milk pie that locally known as Pai Susu Bali or Kue Lontar of Irian Jaya.

It is similar to egg custard/egg tart, but obviously mine is veganized!

Slice and enjoy ????

Suka pai susu?

Meski di Indonesia yang paling terkenal adalah Pai Susu dari Bali, ternyata Kue Lontar dari Irian Jaya tak jauh beda, sama-sama pai susu dan sama-sama enaknya.

Untuk hari ke 22 bulan Ramadhan ini (disini sudah malam ke 23), aku tadi bikin pai susu yang tentunya vegan (tanpa produk hewani), tak kalah enaknya dengan pai susu yang menggunakan telur ?
