5. Jaje Jongkong
You’ve ever been looking at this delicious food before? I bet you didn’t. There’s another food in Java that looks the same like this one, but its has more colourful colour. But hey, even though Jongkong is only colored green, you must know the healthy reason beneath it.
They only colored green, because they want to maintain the colour of the leaves used in this food. Of course, the Pandan leaves has a green and uniqeu aroma, so they used it. Thats why this food has the natural green colour.

However, by looking at its “covers”, the food looks more delicious. The combination of white coconut and the yellow banana, is something else. You can eat it while having a tea in the evening. Heavenly.

8. Jaje Giling
You know, this food has the same shape and form like the famous food in Jakarta, Kolang-kaling. The shape is almost the same, also the colour. But, in Jakarta they served it with some other ingredients to make other kinds of foods. However in Bali, they only need to add some coconut or sugar to eat it. The sweet taste of it will make your day.
Anyway, you can eat it with the combination of liquid sugar just like the way to eat kolang-kaling. Or, you can just eat it one by one like snack, but its a little wet. So you can easily swallow it.
