Getuk Ubi or Pounded Tapioca Cakes; it does not matter what you name this kuih as this is one of the kuihs which I enjoy eating. As mentioned in my earlier post, Ubi Kayu (Steamed Cassava/Tapioca Kuih With Coconut), I am simply a lover of any kind of tapioca desserts. This kuih I know is fondly loved by the Malay communities in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia and I am sure even the Chinese and other communities loved it too!

Getuk Ubi makes a good afternoon snack or a sweet dessert for after dinner. When you sink your teeth into it, the intense flavour of the grated coconut and palm sugar balanced so well with the minimal flavoured cassava at the bottom… Mmm mmm, simply irresistible. I know, I know you will be tempted to have more than you should… BUT bear in mind, it is high in carbohydrates…
