Did you eat Onde yesterday? I ate some...it was nice of my dad that he remembers eating onde days..but sadly we never have the chance to make onde as a family..never..we always buy them..hahahaha..i would not said it's complicated to make onde..(it's really easy). But my parents are very practical..if we can get something by buying them..we would rather buy them than to make it..coz home-made would not guarantee good food. So he went called up the chef restaurant and tell him to made one big pot of onde for the family..
Actually, onde day is a day for the family to stay together at home and everybody sit down on the kitchen table and make the onde together..onde is basically made from flour and water only..mix them up together it will become sticky (it symbolizes family knit..the more onde you make and eat..the closer the family will be). Cook the onde in boil water that has been flavoured with sugar and ginger.
