Jaw Breaker Cenil

Indonesian traditional dessert, Cenil

Saleum Everyone 👋

I'm still struggling to make myself familiar with the app and this platform again, but it didn't prevented me from posting. It's Friday here in my place and just like a habit, creating a food related post as another way to be around 😁.

This is Cenil, made from cassava or tapioca flour by @cicisaja for the first time, because she craved for it. As expected, it's not a success but also not totally a failure too. She made some mistakes while kneading the dough and it turns out to be too hard to chew. Too much flour, she said.

With her habit on cooking, just depends on the guts, not following the recipes 🤣 she has no problem on having a full bowl of it, but not for me. After a few spoons, I gave up...my jaw was tired and almost broken 😆 from laughing.

Cenil is a traditional dessert now, but in the past, this colorful, chewy, sweet and tasty snack actually a main food for the poorer who couldn't afford to get rice. Cassava or tapioca flour is the base of the dough. Together with shredded coconut and sugar sauce, it makes you full .
