Wajik still a popular snack

The wajik is sticky and sweet.

WAJIK is a traditional sweet dish made of steamed sticky glutinous rice, flavoured with palm sugar, coconut milk and a few knotted pandan leaves.

The Indonesians call it wajik ketan and it can be found in most traditional markets. Ketan means glutinous rice in Indonesia. The Javanese regard wajik as a symbol of harmony. So whenever there is a wedding, wajik is the main snack.
