Best Bubur ketan hitam in Chicago
“Black glutinous rice porridge with coconut milk and palm sugar—served any time, from breakfast to supper.”
What the real thing tastes like
Bubur ketan hitam, bubur pulut hitam or bubur injun (English: black sticky rice porridge) is an Indonesian sweet dessert made from black glutinous rice porridge with coconut milk and palm sugar or cane sugar. The black glutinous rice are boiled until soft, and sugar and coconut milk are added. It is often described as "black glutinous rice pudding" and is very similar to black rice tong sui made from black rice. It is often served as dessert or snack, for supper, for tea time, any time of the day; however, it is a popular choice for breakfast for those who prefer sweet treats instead of its savory counterpart bubur ayam.
