City of People # 19: Tukang Kue Bandros (Bandros Cake Vendor)



Kue bandros (bandros cake) is a traditional Indonesian cake. It's made of grated coconut, coconut milk, rice flour and a little bit of salt. The cake is usually sold by a street vendor like this, and is usually eaten for breakfast or at tea time in the afternoon.

    Seems that might be related to the coconut slices my mother used to make. Yum... melting.

    Beautiful B&W portrait.I wonder whether you were close to him, or far with a zoom. Did he know you were taken a picture of him? He looks so natural occupied.

    It must be wonderful to live here where a delicacy such as this can be made and sold before your eyes.

    Nifty street scene. I can't tell whether he is actually making and baking (cooking?) the cakes on site. I'll take Daryl's piece - one is never enough...

    Sounds yummy! We have lots of "kakanin" made of sticky rice and coconut too. Lovely portrait of the street vendor, Eki.
