Klepon (from Javanese) — small balls of glutinous rice flour dough, coloured green with pandan juice, filled with a nugget of palm sugar (gula merah), boiled until they float, and rolled in freshly grated coconut. The eating experience is ENGINEERED: when you bite through the soft, chewy dough, the palm sugar inside has melted during the boiling and BURSTS out as a hot, liquid-caramel surprise.
